The protein drug of interest is an enzyme. It will bind to specific substrates and increase the rate of their conversion into products. Therefore, by monitoring either the substrate concentration or the product concentration, we can indirectly see the activity of the enzyme. This is quantified by measuring by enzyme activity in the [https://2009.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College_London/Wetlab/Protocols/cellulase cellulase assay] and [https://2009.igem.org/Team:Imperial_College_London/Wetlab/Protocols/PAH PAH assay]. Enzyme activity is the rate of substrate utilisation /product formation per unit time. | The protein drug of interest is an enzyme.

More importantly, after the results from enzyme assays are obtained, the model should provide a means of relating the activity output data to the concentration of the enzyme. | + | This model will allow an understanding of the activity of the enzymes and allow the WETLAB to have an idea of the magnitude of the enzymatic activity.
