Protein/Enzyme Isolation
■ Isolating enzyme from its original environment (ie. plant tissues, microorganisms,
animal tissues).
■ Enzymes may be found:
– As secretion in the case of some microorganisms that release enzymes
extracellularly.
– As intracellular enzyme like on plants, animals, or some microorganisms, and
calls for cell lysis to liberate cytoplasm where enzyme resides.
– As membrane-bound enzyme, which are enzymes intact with the membrane
for certain purposes.
