GENERAL STABILITY
ORGANISM
UNIPROT
LITERATURE
-55°C, unstable to prolonged storage
-
25°C, 0.3 M phosphate or Tris, pH 6.0, more than 2 months
-
alpha-crystallin stabilizes the enzyme with higher efficiency at 37°C compared to 25°C
-
dithiothreitol, 2 mM stabilizes, other sulfhydryl compounds such as beta-mercaptoethanol, glutathione and cysteine are less effective
-
DTT stabilizes the purified native enzyme from lens at 2 mM
-
enzyme is not stable unless dithiothreitol in micromolar range is present
-
extremely labile to freezing and thawing unless Carbowax 100 is included, 10 mg/ml
-
freezing and thawing at temperatures above 50°C results in loss of activity
-
freezing and thawing: more than twice, unstable
-
freezing of purified enzyme results in complete loss of activity
-
needs Tween for stability during purification
-
thiol stabilizing reagents are necessary
-
