calculate kcat
« on: February 06, 2012, 09:58:48 AM »
Hi, i am trying to work out my kcat value and have the follwing information:

the enzyme concentration used was 0.007 mg per ml

the volume of enzyme added was 100ul into 3ml

the molecular weight of the enzyme is 149.5 kDa and it has 4 subunits

The vmax is 3.63 umoles min-1 ml-1

I know that kcat = vmax/[e]t but i am struggling to use the correct units as my kcat value needs to be in s-1

can anyone help?! Thanks
