An enzyme-catalyzed reaction produces a product that has a maximum absorbance at 412 nm. The extinction coefficient is 4000 M-1 cm-1. A 10/1 dilution of the enzyme is made and 20 μL of the dilution are put into a cuvette with 80 μL of water and 1.9 mL of reaction cocktail. The absorbance change per minute is 0.05. Show your calculations for full credit.

a. How many units were in the cuvette if 1 unit = 1 μmol/min? (3)

b. How many units were in the cuvette if 1 unit = 1 nmol/min? (3)

c. What is the relative activity of the undiluted enzyme (1 unit = 1 μmol/min)?
