What is the meaning of this formula ?

12 December 2016 1 717 Report

In some protocol of amylase activity determination with DNS . Amylase is expressed as ug amylase/min/milligrame of proteins. my question is what is the meaning of prooteins in this ???

Adam B Shapiro

Are you sure about this unit? It looks like two units were mixed together.

If the amylase sample is a crude material that contains many other proteins, it may be described as having so many µg of amylase/mg protein.

The specific activity of the enzyme would be written as µmoles of glucose produced/min/mg protein (µmoles/min/mg).
