Chapter 20, Problem 20.46E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

An explanation as to how the enzyme assay $\text{CK}$ is useful in diagnostic medicine is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Enzymes are the protein molecules produced by living organism which act as a catalyst to bring about a particular biochemical process. Certain enzymes are normally found almost exclusively inside tissue cells and are released into the blood when these cells are damaged. The measurement of enzyme concentration in blood serum and other biological fluids has become a major diagnostic tool.

(b)

Interpretation:

An explanation as to how the enzyme assay $\text{ALP}$ is useful in diagnostic medicine is to be stated.
