Hello there,
I have this problem from my biochemistry class that I need some help with. Hopefully you can help me .. I feel like this is not a hard question, it's just worded weird and I don't know how to answer it.
Enzyme X is a highly pigmented protein that imparts the characteristic color to certain blue-green algae. It also facilitates a reaction necessary to the survival of this species; we can follow the progress of this reaction by measuring the conversion of Substance X to Substance Y.
1. Given a pure preparation of these algae, and the required supplies and equipment, devise and outline an empirical procedure for purifying Enzyme X.
Photosynthesis is not involved in the answer..
Ok, any help would be mucho appreciated.
Thanks.
