4. To perform a certain activity assay it is necessary to have 0.25 mL of an enzyme at a concentration of 0.2 mgml¹ in the presence of 0.4 mM substrate and 200 mM NaCl in a suitable buffer. The stock solutions of enzyme, substrate and NaCl are 4 mgmL-¹, 40 mM and 1 M all in the same type of buffer. What volumes of the stock solutions and buffer are required for each assay?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The main formula that will be used throughout this problem is given below:

Vstock×Sstock = Vfinal×Sfinal

Here,

Vstock = volume of the stock solution required.

Sstock = concentration of the stock solution.

Vfinal = volume of the final solution.

Sfinal = concentration of the final solution.

Couple of other things to know:

  • mM means milimol per 1000 mL (1 L).
  • 1 mol = 1000 milimol
