Do different proteases have different cleavage site in an antibody/fusion protein? Literature would be helpful.
Many thanks,
Harleen
Hi Harleem
Some proteases are more specific than others. If you have the primary structure of your protein I suggest trying this tool:
https://web.expasy.org/peptide_cutter/
Please note that it assumes complete degradation, which properly folded proteins will be resistant to. Hope that was helpful
Absolutely yes, we have six classes of protease.
Take a look.

Yes, it's very likely that different proteases have different site of action on target protein. It's true with AB and fusion protein too.
How to determine whether to use isocratic or step gradient method for HPLC based methods?

Hello, I was just wondering how does a antibody have full intact antibody + half antibody? Is it because of the drug conjugation?
