Question

Enzyme X has a molecular weight of 48,000. It converts substrate Z into product Y. Z absorbs at 340 nm, and Y absorbs at 480 nm. 

 

A.) At what wavelength would you measure the change in absorbance to assay for enzyme X? Would the absorbance increase or decrease over time?

 

B.)If Vmax = 60 μmol/min and you used 400 μL of a 0.1 mg/mL solution of enzyme, what is the turnover number?
