The activity of an enzyme may be studied by following the rate of substrate depletion or product formation during an enzyme-catalysed reaction. There are two types of assays that are used to monitor the rate of an enzyme-catalysed reaction. These are: 1) Kinetic assay and 2) Fixed-time assay. The figure below represents the kinetics progress curve of an enzyme- catalysed reaction. 24+ Kinetic assay 20+ Fond time assay 16+ # End of fixed time assay 3 7 6 Time (min Study the plots in the figure above and provide a critical analysis of the two assays.
