Abstract
This invention relates to methods for the isolation and purification of the recombinantly expressed major protein component of chondroitinase ABC, which is referred to as 'chondroitinase I', from Proteus vulgaris (P. vulgaris). This invention further relates to methods for the isolation and purification of the recombinantly expressed second protein component of chondroitinase ABC, which is referred to as 'chondroitinase II', from P. vulgaris. These methods provide significantly higher yields and purity than those obtained by adapting for the recombinant enzymes the method previously used for isolating and purifying native chondroitinase I enzyme from P. vulgaris.
