The document outlines the various steps involved in purifying an enzyme, including: 1) Removal of nucleic acids and cell debris through centrifugation, filtration, or precipitation with chemicals like protamine sulfate or streptomycin. 2) Preliminary purification steps to remove small molecules and unwanted contaminants. 3) Separation based on solubility differences, often using precipitation mediated by changes in salt concentration, pH, or temperature. 4) Final purification techniques like chromatography, adsorption, or concentration to achieve a highly purified enzyme.
