The students conducted the assay for LDH activity using the two serum samples. Each cuvette (path length 1 cm) contained 3ml of a suitable assay buffer (including pyruvate as substrate). 20 microlitres of either serum was added to the cuvette and the absorbance values immediately recorded at the optimum wavelength for a period of 5 minutes (absorbance readings taken every 30 seconds). Protein concentration of serum sample (mg/ml) Change in absorbance at optimum wavelength per minute Control serum (C) 8 -0.04 Diseased serum (D) 7.8 -0.6 1c.

Express activity as moles per second. 1d. Estimate the specific activity of the two samples (moles per second per microgram).
A student weighed out 0.150 g of protein powder and dissolved it in 100 mL of water (Solution 1). The student then diluted this solution by transferring 1 mL into a 25 mL flask and diluting with water (Solution 2).
