In an enzyme assay,4.5 $\mu$ mol of substrate was consumed in 3.166 min.What is the enzyme activity expressed in IU?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzyme activity in IU (International Units) is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 1 micromole of substrate per minute. Here, 4.5 micromoles of substrate are consumed in 3.166 minutes, so the activity is 4.5 / 3.166 = 1.42 IU, which rounds to 1.4 IU.
