In an assay for a dehydrogenase you observe an increase in the absorbance at 340 nm of 0.5 due to the production of NADH. Using the extinction coefficient that you determined in problem 4, calculate the change in concentration of NADH (in mM). For a 1 cm pathlength cuvette this translates to an extinction coefficient of 9.8765 mM-1 cm-1

Calculate the concentration of NADH (µmol/L) in a test solution giving an absorbance at 340 nm (A340) of 0.53 in a cuvette with a path length of 1cm, based on a molar absorptivity for NADH of 6220 Lmol-1cm-1 at this wave length. ____?____(µmol/L)

Calculate the amount of NADH (nmol) in 20 mL of a test solution where A340=0.62 in a cuvette with a path length of 5 cm, based on a molar absorptivity for NADH of 6220 Lmol-1cm-1 at this wavelength. ___?_______(nmol)
