What do Broad Peak and K12 have in common?
Broad Peak Broad Peak (Urdu: ‎ ) is the 12th highest mountain in the world at 8051 m above sea level. The literal translation of "Broad Peak" to Falchan Kangri (ཨིྰན་ཨངརི་) is not accepted among the Balti people. The English name was introduced in 1892 by the British explorer Martin Conway, in reference to the similarly named Breithorn in the Alps.
Proteinase K In molecular biology Proteinase K (EC 3.4.21.64 , "protease K", "endopeptidase K", "Tritirachium alkaline proteinase", "Tritirachium album serine proteinase", "Tritirachium album proteinase K") is a broad-spectrum serine protease. The enzyme was discovered in 1974 in extracts of the fungus "Engyodontium album" (formerly "Tritirachium album"). Proteinase K is able to digest hair (keratin), hence, the name "Proteinase K". The predominant site of cleavage is the peptide bond adjacent to the carboxyl group of aliphatic and aromatic amino acids with blocked alpha amino groups. It is commonly used for its broad specificity. This enzyme belongs to Peptidase family S8. The molecular weight of Proteinase K is 28,900 daltons (28.9 kDa).
