B-Galactosidase (ß-gal) is a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ß-galactosides into monosaccharides. A 0.490 g sample of ß-galactosidase is dissolved in water to make 0.145 L of solution, and the osmotic pressure of the solution at 25 °C is found to be 0.719 mbar. Calculate the molecular mass of ß-galactosidase. molecular mass: g/mol
