Recombinant Trypsin can replace animal-derived trypsin in your research and biomanufacturing applications! As opposed to animal-sourced trypsin, animal-free Recombinant Trypsin reduces potential cell damage and addresses safety and regulatory concerns. Recombinant Trypsin, GMP Grade, manufactured by Provis Biolabs is available in North America through Ilex Life Sciences: https://lnkd.in/gFQ-2ew4 #cellculture #cellharvesting #celltherapy #cellandgenetherapy #biomanufacturing #bioprocessing #bioengineering #proteinpurification #tissueengineering #regenerativemedicine #animalfree #biotech #biotechnology #lifesciences
Recombinant Trypsin: For Precision Cleavage in Bioprocessing Trypsin is a serine protease that specifically cleaves peptide bonds at the C-terminus of lysine and arginine residues, essential in various biological applications. Traditionally, trypsin has been sourced from the pancreas of animals which carries significant risks, including the potential introduction of exogenous viruses. Historical cases, such as the detection of SV40 virus in polio vaccines and avian leukosis virus in yellow fever vaccines, highlight the critical need for safer alternatives. Molecular Structure and Advantages of Recombinant Trypsin: Recombinant trypsin, produced using advanced recombinant technology, offers a safer and more reliable alternative. It consists of a single polypeptide chain with two distinct domains: the catalytic domain responsible for substrate binding and cleavage and the β-barrel domain, which provides structural stability. Post-purification, recombinant trypsin typically contains at least 70% β-trypsin and no more than 20% α-trypsin. Key Features: Gentle Action: Unlike traditional trypsin, which may contain multiple proteases, recombinant trypsin acts as a single enzyme. This reduces the potential for cell damage, maintaining cell health and integrity during bioprocessing. Animal-Origin Free: Recombinant trypsin eliminates the risk of exogenous viral contamination. This not only enhances product safety but also meets the stringent requirements for viral safety control outlined in pharmacopoeias. #provis #provisbiolabs #recombinantenzymes #GMP #bioprocessing #ProteinPurification #EnzymeEngineering #Biotechnology #ViralSafety #AnimalOriginFree

#AnimalFree Recombinant Carboxypeptidase B can replace animal-derived enzymes in your research and biomanufacturing applications! Recombinant Carboxypeptidase B, GMP Grade, manufactured by Provis Biolabs is available in North America through Ilex Life Sciences: https://lnkd.in/e3bmexi4 #biopharmaceuticals #biopharma #celltherapy #cellandgenetherapy #bioprocessing #biomanufacturing #antibodyproduction #peptidesynthesis #enzymes #biotech #biotechnology #lifesciences
Recombinant Enzyme for Cleavage in Bioprocess Applications: Carboxypeptidase B Carboxypeptidase B (CPB) is a highly specific serine protease crucial for protein processing and maturation. Produced recombinantly, this enzyme is derived from the pancreas and is known for its ability to remove C-terminal basic amino acids from peptide chains. Its precision makes it a valuable enzyme in various biotechnological applications. Cleavage Specificity: Activated by trypsin, CPB exhibits high specificity for lysine and arginine residues, with a preference for arginine. The molecular weight of Carboxypeptidase B is approximately 34.5 kDa. The enzyme functions optimally at a pH of 8.0 and has an isoelectric point (pI) of 6.0. It cleaves at the C-terminal end of peptides, targeting basic amino acids, represented by the sequence: X-X-X-X-Arg/Lys Applications: Efficient Removal of C-Terminal Lysine: Ideal for processing pro-insulin to produce insulin. Precise Protein Functionalization: Enables the generation of specific C-terminal modifications for enhanced protein functionality. Synthesis of Peptides with Desired Sequences: Facilitates the production of peptides with tailored C-terminal sequences, supporting various research and therapeutic applications. #provis #provisbiolabs #recombinantenzymes #GMP #bioprocessing #protein #Protease #EnzymeEngineering #Biotechnology #PeptideSynthesis

Recombinant Human Albumin can replace animal or human derived albumin in your research and biomanufacturing applications! Recombinant Human Albumin (rHA), GMP Grade, manufactured by Provis Biolabs is available in North America through Ilex Life Sciences: https://lnkd.in/gFQ-2ew4 #biopharma #biopharmaceuticals #biotherapeutics #celltherapy #cellandgenetherapy #vaccines #cellculture #biotech #biotechnology #lifesciences
#RecombinantHumanAlbumin For Stability and Safety in #Vaccines and #Biopharmaceuticals As the demand for animal-free solutions in biopharmaceuticals grows, recombinant albumin is emerging as a key player in the development of safer and more effective vaccines and biologics. The increasing reliance on recombinant albumin in chemically defined media addresses concerns over viral and prion contamination associated with animal-derived components. Notably, recombinant albumin is also used as an excipient in vaccine formulations, contributing to the stability and efficacy of the final product. Produced using advanced recombinant DNA technology in Pichia pastoris, recombinant human albumin (rHA) offers a consistent, high-quality alternative to plasma-derived albumin. This not only enhances the stability of therapeutic products but also improves yield, making it a critical component in modern vaccine and biologic formulations. #RecombinantAlbumin #Biopharmaceuticals #Vaccines #AnimalFree #RecombinantDNA #BiotechInnovation #VaccineDevelopment #Pharmaceuticals #Safety #Stability #Biologics #AdvancedTherapeutics
