Use of a cysteine proteinase from Carica candamarcensis as a protective agent during DNA extraction

We describe the use of a plant cysteine proteinase isolated from latex of Carica candamarcensis as a protective agent during isolation of bacterial DNA following growth in culture of these cells. Between 100 to 720 units of proteinase (1 µg = 6 units) afforded good DNA protection when incubated with...
