Abstract
The goal of enzyme purification is to obtain a substantial amount of a specific enzyme while conserving its function in vivo. Enzyme purification consists of three phases, which can be elaborated into four general steps. Depending on the physical and chemical properties, downstream application, and the source of the target enzyme, each enzyme requires its unique purification strategy. The purpose of purification is to isolate specific enzymes from a crude extract of cells containing many other unwanted components in order to obtain the maximum specific activity with the best possible recovery of the initial activity. The following article discusses enzyme purification techniques and the advancements of enzyme purification are also discussed.
