Determination of the Michaelis constant (with the Cobra3 Chem-Unit)

Product No: P4120340

Principle

The enzymatic hydrolysis of urea in aqueous solution liberates carbon dixide and ammonia. The ions of these compounds increase the conductivity of the solution. Conductivity measurements can so be made to determine the rate of hydrolysis of urea by the enzyme urease at various substrate concentrations.

Tasks

  1. The Michaelis constant can then be calculated from these values.
