stew Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Note: a Unit is ((ΔA/Δmin)/(6220 M -1 cm -1)) X 106 μM/M X 3 X 10-3 L An enzyme sample contains 24 mg protein/mL. Of this sample, 20 microliters in a standard incubation volume of 0.1 mL catalyzed the incorporation of glucose into glycogen at a rate of 1.6 nmol/min. Calculate the velocity of the reaction in terms of the following: A)micromoles/minute B)micromoles/liter/minute C)micromoles/miligrams of protein/minute D)Units/milliliter E)Units/miligrams of protein Of this sample, 50 mL were fractionated by ammonium sulfate precipitation. The fraction precipitating between 30 and 50% saturation was redissolved in a total volume of 10 mL and dialyzed. The solution after dialysis had 12 mL and contained 30 mg protein/mL. Of the purified fraction, 20 microliters catalyzed the reaction rate of 5.9 nmol/min under the standard assay conditions. calculate the following: A. The recovery of enzyme after the ammonium sulfate step. B. The fold purification after the ammonium sulfate step. note: for recovery: divide total units of he sample by the total units of the crude homogenate and multiply by 100. for fold purification: it is the ratio of the specific activity of a given fraction divided by the specific activity of the crude homogenate. a Unit= micromole/minute
