Tyrosinase enzyme activity is assayed by monitoring the oxidation of 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) to the red-colored dopachrome. a) Calculate the tyrosinase activity (U/mL) by using the experimental data given below: 1 ε = 3600 M¹ cm ¹ (molar absorption coefficient for the product dopachrome) v = 0.004 L (final volume in the cuvette)
