What is enzyme activity? Question 2 options: 1) Amounts of substrates being produce per second (or minute). 2) Amounts of product being consumed per second (or minute). 3) Amounts (µM) of product being form per unit time (second or minute is the unit).

Step 1
Enzyme activity refers to the rate at which an enzyme catalyzes a reaction, specifically how much product is formed or how much substrate is consumed over a specific period of time. Show more…

The Specific Activity of an enzyme is measured as: - Amount of product formed per time - Concentration of enzyme in mg/ml - Concentration of substrate consumed per time - The units of enzyme per ml - The units of enzyme per mg protein

The catalytic efficiency of an enzyme, called its activity, indicates the rate at which it catalyzes the reaction. Most enzymes have optimum activity over a relatively narrow pH range, which is related to the pH of the local cellular fluid. The pH profiles of three digestive enzymes are shown.
