Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of acetylcholine to choline. After several purification methods, 44.0 µg of acetylcholinesterase was purified from a crude extract and was found to catalyse the conversion of 16.0 μmol of acetylcholine (the substrate) to choline (the product) in 9 mins. What is the specific activity of acetylcholinesterase in units μmol min-1 mg-1. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. (i.e. If you calculated 40.03, input your answer as 40. Input only the numerical value. Do not input the unit).

The enzyme examase catalyses the following reaction, A - B where A is the reactant and B is the product A595 measurements were used to determine the catalytic activity of examase by measuring the rate at which B is produced. From this, the activity of the enzyme was determined to be 42 µmol/mL per minute. A standard albumin solution (concentration = 10 mg/mL) was used to prepare a standard curve of Abs595 vs amount of protein in mg. The protein assay was also performed using 100 uL of a 1 in 10 dilution of the original examase sample. For the absorbance measurements, it was determined that the sample used in the A595 measurement contains 1.2 mg of examase. Which of the following statements correctly gives the specific activity of examase? 1.0.35 U/mg O 2.0.035 U/mg 3. 5040 U/mg O 4.35 U/mg O 5.3.5 U/mg
