Enzyme Kinetic Equations

REFLECT AND APPLY Would you use a pH meter to monitor the progress of the reaction described in Question? Why or why not?

Question 1

REFLECT AND APPLY The enzyme lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reaction

Pyruvate + NADH 1 H+ → lactate + NAD+

NADH absorbs light at 340 nm in the near-ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum, but NAD+1 does not. Suggest an experimental method for following the rate of this reaction, assuming that you have available a spectrophotometer capable of measuring light at this wavelength.
