Hi
Does any one could clarify the correctness of the enzyme activity
unit calculation?
???526/min x Reaction vol.
Enzyem activity (U / ml)= ____________________________ x dilution
factor
0.065x Enzyme vol.
For e.g., 0.03x0.2
_________x5# = 9.2 U /ml or 153.36 nanokatals/ml
0.065x0.05
where, Change in abs at 526 per min was 0.03
Assay volume 0.2 ml
Enzyme volume 0.05 ml
Extn coeff:
= 65,000 /M/cm
= 65 /Mm/cm
= 0.065 /uM/cm*
* used 0.065, since EU is defined u mole of substrate oxidized.
5#
since the assay volume was 0.2ml, I multiplied the whole by 5 to
get per ml value
Is it correct?
