purity :
Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
form :
Liquid containing glycerol; lyophilization may be available upon request.
storage stability :
Store at -20 degree C, for extended storage, conserve at -20 degree C or -80 degree C.
products description :
Roves the formyl group from the N-terminal Met of newly synthesized proteins. Requires at least a dipeptide for an efficient rate of reaction. N-terminal L-methionine is a prerequisite for activity but the enzyme has broad specificity at other positions.

ncbi summary :
The def gene is essential unless the fmt formylase gene is also inactivated. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG11440]. Peptide deformylase releases the formyl group from the amino terminal methionine residue of most nascent proteins . [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG11440].
