question 17

Multiple Choice

Most clinical laboratory assays measure concentration of analyte in the blood stream.Why do most enzyme analyses measure enzyme activity instead of enzyme concentration?

• A)The assays utilized to measure enzymes involve equilibrium reactions where the reaction can proceed in both directions during the assay.
• B)The enzyme being analyzed may be present in such a large concentration that it is difficult to maintain linearity, causing activity measurements to be more suitable.
• C)Enzymes are not consumed during the reactions in which they are involved, requiring analysis by activity instead of concentration.
• D)The products formed by enzymatic reactions are not sufficiently chromophoric to be measured by traditional spectrophotometric techniques.
