Antibody System Recombinant PNGase F
Overview
This recombinant PNGase F (Peptide-N-Glycosidase F) is an exceptionally pure amidase cloned from Elizabethkingia miricola and expressed in an optimized E. coli system. PNGase F is an indispensable enzymatic tool in glycobiology, proteomics, and biopharmaceutical quality control. It catalyzes the smooth cleavage of almost all N-linked oligosaccharides from glycoproteins. The enzyme hydrolyzes the amide bond between the innermost N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and the asparagine residue, converting the asparagine into an aspartic acid.
This reaction effectively releases high-mannose, hybrid, and complex oligosaccharides from the polypeptide backbone. It provides researchers with a pristine, structural sample for subsequent glycan profiling. This high-concentration recombinant formulation is widely utilized for antibody characterization, mass spectrometry glycoproteomics, structural biology analysis, and therapeutic glycoprotein profiling pipelines.

Applications and Workflow Summary
This recombinant amidase is highly optimized for performance under both denaturing and non-denaturing (native) assay configurations. Investigators should follow these standardized operational protocols:
Denaturing Reaction Method
-
Sample Preparation: Combine 1 to 20 ug of your target glycoprotein, 1 ul of 10X Glycoprotein Denaturing Buffer (yielding a working framework of 0.5 percent SDS and 40 mM DTT), and water to establish a 10 ul total reaction volume.
-
Thermal Denaturation: Heat the reaction mix at 100 degrees C for 10 minutes to completely unfold the protein backbone. Chill on ice briefly and centrifuge for 10 seconds.
-
Reaction Adjustment: Expand the total volume to 20 ul by adding 2 ul of 10X GlycoBuffer 2 (yielding a working framework of 20 mM Tris, pH 7.5), 2 ul of 10 percent NP-40 surfactant (yielding a final 1 percent NP-40 layout), and 6 ul of water.
-
Enzyme Incubation: Introduce 1 ul of PNGase F, mix the solution gently, and incubate at 37 degrees C for 1 hour.
Non-Denaturing (Native) Reaction Method
-
Sample Preparation: Combine 1 to 20 ug of target native glycoprotein, 2 ul of 10X GlycoBuffer 2, and water to reach a 20 ul total reaction volume.
-
Enzyme Incubation: Add 2 to 5 ul of PNGase F, mix gently, and incubate the reaction layothe ut at 37 degrees C for 4 to 24 hours. Note: Deglycosylating a fully native glycoprotein typically requires longer incubation intervals and increased enzyme volumes due to steric hindrance surrounding the glycan core.
Monitoring Progress
The simplest method for assessing the completeness of a deglycosylation reaction is to track mobility shifts using standard SDS-PAGE gels.
Handling, Stability and Storage
-
Liquid Formulation: Supplied in a highly stable liquid format dissolved in a buffer composed of 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM Na2EDTA, and 50 percent glycerol cryoprotectant to safeguard structural active-site dynamics.
-
Shipping Configurations: Distributed under temperature-regulated parameters utilizing dry ice or chilled blue ice packs unless customized alternative shipping arrangements are established.
-
Storage Guidance:
-
Short-Term Storage: Maintain at 2 to 8 degrees C for immediate, short-term application needs (up to 1 week).
-
Long-Term Storage: For extended preservation, store continuously at -20 to -80 degrees C for a stable framework spanning 12 months from the initial date of batch receipt.
-
-
Operational Shelf Life: To avoid physical stress, structural denaturation, or a sudden loss of catalytic activity, utilize a manual defrost freezer and strictly avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
