Amino acid analysis of 1.0 mg of pure enzyme yielded 58.1 μg of leucine (MW = 131.2) What is the minimum MW of the enzyme based on leucine content? (1) 2000 (2) 2300

Answer 2

Explanation:

1 mg --- 58.1 microgram of leucine

10-3--------. 58.1*10-6

W/m.w of enzyme = W/m.w of leucine

m.w of enzyme= m.w of leucine* m.w of enzyme/weight of leucine

=131.2* 10-3/58.1*10-6

= 131.2* 1000/58.1= 2258
