Relationship between total protein and enzyme activity

... fungus Aspergillus Oryzae.The lytic enzymatic cocktail was Yatalase, which composing of Chitinase, Chitobiase, Chitosanase, beta-1,3-glucanase and Protease. I used the cocktail (10 mg/ml) to lyse 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, & 60% w/v of fungal concentration. After incubation time (60 mins), the ...
