Proteinase K

Proteinase K (Protease K) is a nonspecific serine protease that is useful for general digestion of proteins. Proteinase K is active in the presence of SDS or urea and over a wide range of pH (4-12), salt concentrations, and temperatures. Proteinase K can be use for promoting methods of viral nucleic acid extraction, and detection[1][2][3][4].
