Test the effects of DTT on the stability of Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) during tryptic digestion Purpose
AP is very stable • Denatures at high temperatures • Disulfide bonds • Dithiothreitol (DTT): Reduces disulfide bonds Background
Hypothesis: AP with intact disulfide bonds is resistant to proteolytic digestion (via trypsin). In the presence of DTT, AP will be digested. Overview of Experiment
Inconclusive results • (+) DTT experiment = Control • Trypsin:AP Ratio • Trypsin autolysis • [DTT] • Trypsin reconstitution error Discussion
Trypsin Gold • Modified K residues • Increasing [DTT] Future Directions
