ß-Galactosidase (ß-gal) is a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ß-galactosides into monosaccharides. A 0.328 g sample of ß-galactosidase is dissolved in water to make 0.115 L of solution, and the osmotic pressure of the solution at 25 °C is found to be 0.608 mbar. Calculate the molecular mass of ß-galactosidase. ß-Galactosidase (ß-gal) is a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ß-galactosides into monosaccharides.
