The enzymatic hydrolysis of urea in an aquous solution yields
carbon dioxide and ammonia. The ions of
these compounds increase the conductivity of the solution. The
speed of urea hydrolysis, which is
caused by the urease enzyme, can be determined via conductivity
measurements at different substrate
concentration levels. The resulting values can then be used for the
calculation of the Michaelis constant.
