Cellulase, Liquid (EC 3.2.1.4)

Cellulase is an enzyme complex useful for the isolation of plant protoplasts, biomass conversion, carbohydrate research, liquid food clarification and cell dissociation. Trichoderma reesei converts cellulose to glucose via multi-enzymatic hydrolysis of beta-glucans, xylans and hemicellulosic polymers. pH: 4.9-5.3, Specific Gravity: As reported, Enzyme Activity: > 2500 IU/ml. No protease, lipase or amylase side activity detected. Unit Definition: 1 unit releases 1µmole of reducing sugars (glucose equivalents) per minute from microcrystalline cellulose at 50ºC, pH 4.8. Stability and Storage: May be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at 4°C. Do not freeze. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months.
