Product Information

Cat. No.	PTAK-028
Description	The TEV Activity Assay Kit provides a convenient method for detecting TEV (Tobacco Etch Virus) Protease activity. TEV protease recognizes specific sequence Glu-Asn-Leu-Tyr-Phe-Gln-Gly and cleaves between Gln and Gly, and is widely used for tag removal of fusion proteins. The TEV activity assay is based on the ability of TEV Protease to cleave a synthetic Fluorescein-based peptide substrate to release fluorescein which can be easily quantified using a fluorescence microplate reader at Ex/Em = 490/520 nm
Component	•Active TEV protease •TEV protease substrate •TEV assay buffer •DTT •5-FAM standard
Applications	Useful for detecting the activity of TEV protease and screening/characterizing the potential inhibitors of TEV.
Size	100 assays
Method	Fluorescence
Caution	Avoid freeze/thaw cycles

Customer Q&As

What is Tobacco Etch Virus?

A: The Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) is a plant pathogenic virus that primarily infects tobacco plants, although it can also infect various other plant species.

What is TEV protease？

A: TEV protease, also known as Tobacco Etch Virus protease, is a sequence-specific protease derived from the Tobacco Etch Virus.

What is the function of TEV protease?

A: TEV protease recognizes the short amino acid sequence ENLYFQ, and cleaves the peptide bond between glutamine and glycine within this motif. It is highly specific and efficient, making it a valuable tool in protein purification and protein engineering studies.

How fast is TEV protease?

A: One unit of TEV protease cleaves over 85% of 3 μg of control substrate in one hour at pH 8.0 at 30 °C.

What temperature is TEV protease active at?

A: TEV protease is active at a temperature range of 16-30 degrees Celsius. However, its optimal activity is typically observed at temperatures between 25-30 degrees Celsius.
