Y 10.51 The specific activity of the enzyme sucrase was measured by extracting a portion of the intestines of 24 patients who underwent an intestinal bypass. After the sections were extracted, they were homogenized and analyzed for enzyme activity (Carter (1981)). Two different methods can be used to measure the activity of sucrase: the homogenate method and the pellet method. Data for the 24 patients are shown here for the two methods: as Measured te and Pellet Homogenate Method, y Pellet Method, x Patient 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 18.88 7.26 6.50 9.83 46.05 20.10 35.78 59.42 58.43 62.32 88.53 19.50 60.78 77.92 51.29 77.91 36.65 31.17 66.09 115.15 95.88 64.61 37.71 100.82 70.00 55.43 18.87 40.41 57.43 31.14 70.10 137.56 221.20 276.43 316.00 75.56 277.30 331.50 133.74 221.50 132.93 85.38 142.34 294.63 262.52 183.56 86.12 226.55 CS Scanned with CamScanner
