Pepsin

Manufactured by Sinopharm
Sourced in China

Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme produced by the stomach that plays a key role in the digestion of proteins. It is an aspartic protease that functions optimally in the acidic environment of the stomach, where it helps break down and hydrolyze ingested proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids for further absorption.

Mg-2Zn Wires: Fabrication and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mg-2Zn (wt.%, the chemical composition is shown in Table 1) wires, developed by our research group [[37] (link), [38] (link), [39] (link)] and produced by Suzhou Jingjun New Materials Technology Co. Ltd. China, with a diameter of 1.0 mm were used in this study. The experimental specimens were first ultrasonically cleaned for 5 min in acetone, then polished in a solution consisting of 1 ml nitric acid, 1 ml hydrogen peroxide, and 100 ml distilled water for 1 min. Finally, they were cleaned for 5 min in ethanol ultrasonically and dried under the excitation of UV light in the biosafety cabinet. The surface morphology and microstructure of the wire were observed by a Sirion200 field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM, FEI, Japan) with an acceleration voltage of 20 kV and spot size of 4, and optical metallographic microscopy (BX60 M, Olympus, Japan) as shown in Fig. S1, from which it is clear that original wire surface is smooth and uniform. For preparing the various solutions, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, pepsin, and pancreatin were purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. China.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
