Abstract

Recovery of intracellular proteins requires disruption of the host cell before the target protein is extracted and isolated. Disruption methods vary depending on the type of cells, the total volume, and the number of samples being processed. For cells enveloped in cell walls (such as yeast), mild techniques such as hypotonic shock are not sufficient to achieve adequate lysis. More vigorous methods are often required. Although the preferred medium- or large-scale method of breaking yeast cells is mechanical shearing, lysis with the aid of glass beads in a BeadBeater is described here.
