4 How do I convert from DPM to picomoles per milligram of protein (pmol/mg)? I have the specific activity as [3H]-spiperone is 25530 DPM/pmol. is there an equation?
5 900uL of lysozyme solution was added with 100uL of Fraction X into a cuvette. In a kinetic measurement using spectrophotometer, the Abs/min value for lysozyme cell wall hydrolysis activity was -0.040. The settings were at 450nm, 3 second intervals. Calculate the concentration of lysozyme activity that is present, in units of abs/min/mL. If you could show and explain how to calculate, that would be amazing

5) Consider the hypothetical biochemical pathway shown below. Assume that each letter (A, B, C, etc) represents a molecule and each number over an arrow (1, 2, 3, etc) represents an enzyme that catalyzes that reaction (so enzyme 2 catalyzes the conversion of B to C). Indicate all the probable feedback inhibition interactions that would be expected to regulate the activity of enzymes in this pathway. please indicate each interaction in the format example: "X will inhibit enzyme 27".
Chitinase is a protein that breaks down chitin, a primary component of the cell wall in fungi, scales in fish and exoskeletons of arthropods. The activity of chitinase extracted from a plant was shown to be optimum at pH 5. You were tasked to prepare 300 mL of 150 mM buffer solution for further analysis of the extracted chitinase.

1. The Fehling’s reaction, which is a simple assay for reducing sugars, was used as a diagnostic test for the determination of blood glucose concentrations for a very long time. However, it has now been replaced by the glucose oxidase test. The enzyme glucose oxidase isolated from the mold Penicillium notatum catalyzes the oxidation of β-D-glucose to D-glucono-δ-lactone. This enzyme is highly specific for the β-anomer of glucose and does not affect the α-anomer. In spite of this specificity, the reaction catalyzed by glucose oxidase is commonly used in a clinical assay for total blood glucose—that is, for solutions consisting of a mixture of β- and α-D-glucose. Explain how this is possible. Aside from allowing the detection of smaller quantities of glucose, what advantage does glucose oxidase offer over Fehling’s reagent for the determination of blood glucose? 2. Consider only the oxygen levels present in the cytoplasm and ECF as shown in the drawing above (no new oxygen is entering…
