How would you measure an enzymes activity?

Solution

Enzyme activity can be measured by the following formula

Moles of substrate converted per unit time = rate × reaction volume

Enzyme assays are the methods by which one can calculate enzyme activity. There are different types of assays such as initial rate experiments, progress curve experiments, transient kinetics experiments, relaxation experiments, etc.

Enzyme activity is thus measured in molar amounts or in terms of enzyme units.
