Showing each step: Use the molecular weight of Tyrosinase,128,000, to determine how many micromoles ofTyrosinase are in the tubes. Assume 5 mL of Tyrosinase is used andthat it has a concentration of 15 mg/mL.

Given concentration of Tyrosinase is 15 mg/mL.  

That means 1 mL of the solution contains 15 mg of Tyrosinase

                  5 mL of the solution contains 15x5 = 75 mg of Tyrosinase

Given molecular weight of Tyrosinase =128,000 g/mol

We know that number of moles , n = mass/molar mass

                                                   = 75 mg / (128000 (g/mol))

                                                   = 75x10-3 g / (128000 (g/mol))

                                                   = 5.47x10-8 mol

                                                   = 5.47x10-2x10-6 mol

                                                   = 5.47x10-2 micromol
