Protein purification table: A 50 ml crude skeletal muscle extract contains 32mg of protein per ml. Ten ul of the extract catalyzes a reaction at a rate of 0.14 µmol product per minute. The extract was fractionated by ammonium sulfate precipitation, and the fraction precipitating between 20% and 40% saturation was dissolved in 10ml. The solution contains 50mg/ml protein. Ten ul of this purified fraction catalyzes the reaction at a rate of 0.65 µmol/min (a) What is the degree of purification (fold purification)? (b) What is the percent yield of the enzyme recovered in the purification?

Protein purification table: A 50 ml crude skeletal muscle extract contains 32mg of protein per ml. Ten ul of
the extract catalyzes a reaction at a rate of 0.14 µmol product per minute. The extract was fractionated by
ammonium sulfate precipitation, and the fraction precipitating between 20% and 40% saturation was
dissolved in 10ml. The solution contains 50mg/ml protein. Ten ul of this purified fraction catalyzes the
reaction at a rate of 0.65 µmol/min
(a) What is the degree of purification (fold purification)?
