Methods for the analysis of non-proteinaceous components using a protease from a Bacillus strain

摘要

This invention relates to a method for the analysis of at least one target non-proteinaceous component of a mixture of non-proteinaceous and proteinaceous components derived from a biological sample using a protease from a Bacillus strain. The invention further relates to a method for the analysis of at least one target nucleic acid component of a mixture of non-proteinaceous components, which comprise nucleic acids, and proteinaceous components whereby the mixture is derived from a biological sample comprising the steps of incubating the mixture with at least one protease from a Bacillus strain, optionally amplifying the at least one target nucleic acid component, and determining or detecting the at least one target nucleic acid component.
