Question 3 (15 marks) A phosphatase assay was performed on a sample of CFE (cell free extract) containing GST- TC45-349 using pNPP as a substrate. The CFE was diluted in TBS (50mM Tris-HCI pH 7.5, 150mM NaCl) prior to being assayed, as shown in column 1 of Table 2. A 20 ul aliquot of diluted CFE was added to 20 ul 50 mM pNPP plus 10 uL 5x assay buffer (50mM Tris-HCI pH 7.2). The reaction was incubated at 37 "C for 30 min. A control reaction was also set up with 20 ul water. After 30 min, 1 ml of stop solution (0.2M NaOH) was added to each reaction. Average absorbance at 405 nm of each 180 ul sample (measured in triplicate) was recorded by a platereader (Table 2).

(3 marks) (ii) Based on the information in Table 2, explain if pNPP is a good substrate for this reaction. Include in your answer the steps you would take to determine this. (5 marks) (iii) For the 1/15 dilution of CFE in Table 2, the last two columns are incomplete. Calculate the pNP formed and %pNPP consumed, including all necessary steps in the calculation. The molar extinction coefficient (Egos) of p-nitrophenolate is 1.8 x 10* M-1 cm-1
