Usage

Description

LYTICASE, also known as Yeast Lytic Enzyme, is a biocatalyst that specifically targets and breaks down linear glucose polymers with beta-1,3-linkages. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the enzymatic digestion of yeast glycan coats and the formation of spheroplasts, which are essential processes in various industrial applications.

Uses

Used in the Food and Beverage Industry:
LYTICASE is used as an enzyme for enzymatic digestion of yeast glycan coats, which is essential for the clarification and stabilization of beverages, particularly in the wine and beer production process. The enzyme helps to break down the complex yeast cell wall components, resulting in a clearer and more stable final product.
Used in the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Industry:
LYTICASE is used as a tool for spheroplast formation, which is a critical step in the production of recombinant proteins and other biotechnological applications. The enzyme facilitates the digestion of the cell wall of active yeast cells, allowing for the release of intracellular contents and enabling further processing and analysis.
Used in the Research and Development Sector:
LYTICASE is used as a research tool for studying the structure and function of yeast cell walls and glycan coats. The enzyme's ability to digest these components provides valuable insights into the biology and biochemistry of yeast cells, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in cellular and molecular biology.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lyticase hydrolyzes poly-β(1→3)-glucose such as yeast cell wall glucan.
