Calculating Units Of Enzyme Activity
Hi all.
Note: This is not a homework question. I am studying for an exam.
I'm preparing for an exam in my biotechnology class and I was wondering how to approach the following problem:
A purified enzyme sample is assayed and it is determined that 80 mg of product was made in 1 mL of the starting test solution which had been diluted 5 fold. If the reaction proceeded for 20 minutes, then the units of enzyme activity would be...
I assume there is a formula that I inexplicably missed. Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Caitlin

Firstly, you shouldn't need an equation written down to figure that out. The reason to get a degree is to learn how to derive the equations you need yourself. Secondly, you don't actually have enough information to answer that question (hint: how long did the original reaction last, how much of the test solution was consumed...).
BTW, this doesn't actually have anything to do with bioinformatics.
This is biochemistry, not bioinformatics. Closing the question.
