Why does the detergent and protease enzymes are needed in order to collect pure samples of dna

Explanation:

Detergent enzyme used because The positively charged sodium ions in the salt help protect the negatively charged phosphate groups that run along the backbone of the DNA. A detergent is then added. The detergent breaks down the lipids in the cell membrane and nuclei. DNA is released as these membranes are disrupted.

Proteases catalyze the breakdown of contaminating proteins present in the solution to its component amino acids. It also degrades any nucleases and/or enzymes that may be present in the sample. This is of vital importance since these chemical compounds can attack and destroy the nucleic acids in your sample.
