Digestion of yeast and fungal cell walls is necessary for many experimental procedures including spheroplasting, immunofluorescence, transformation, protein purification, and others. The use of lytic enzymes like Zymolyase are routinely used for digestion. The Zymolyase from Zymo Research is prepared from Arthrobacter luteus and is 100T equivalent. The storage buffer provided with the lyophilized enzyme has been optimized to confer maximal levels of enzymatic activity. R-Zymolyase also contains RNase A.
