My research focus on the production of xylanase, and pectinase in SSF condition. I wanted to do enzyme assay of the crude enzyme extracted using DNS method.
My question is, for each sample do I have to make enzyme blank or buffer blank?
I'm thinking of doing enzyme blank since there is possibilities of existence of reducing sugar that was extracted along during crude enzyme extraction. But it would be tedious and time consuming because I have to prepare different enzyme blank for each different sample.
or I can do buffer blank which is a lot easier.
