could not upload the image for some reason however the standard curve was created using the table above
Calculations
S1 = (0.27-0)/30 = 0.009 OD420 sec-1
P2 = (0.18-0)/30 = 0.006 OD420 sec-1
Use:
your standard curve of ONP concentration,
the concentration of S1 and P2 you calculated earlier &
the fact that the reaction volumes for each assay were 3 mL and contained 0.5 mL of either S1 or P2.
to calculate the of MOLES of ONPG hydrolysed per sec per mg of protein for the S1 and P2 samples.
(Bear in mind that the absorption value reveals the MOLARITY of ONP in the solution but you need to work out the NUMBER OF MOLES released from ONPG by enzymatic hydrolysis in each reaction).
