p-Toluenethiol as an initiator of autolysis in bakers' yeast.
Cysteine or dithiothreitol enhances the rate of autolysis in toluene-treated yeast. p-Toluenethiol alone is even more effective and is recommended for the isolation of beta-fructofuranosidase. This suggests a more general application of p-toluenethiol in the isolation of enzymes from yeast.
