  • Performance of activation energy assays using both the novel automated system and conventional manual methods.
  • Comparative analysis of results obtained from both methodologies on identical samples.

    • Main Results:

    • The automated method produced essentially identical results to manual determination of activation energies.
    • The automated process significantly minimized the required amounts of enzyme and substrate.
    • The automated method eliminated errors associated with repetitive pipetting and subsequent calculations.

    Conclusions:

    • Automated determination of enzyme activation energies is a viable and reliable alternative to manual methods.
    • The developed automated system offers substantial benefits in terms of resource conservation (enzyme, substrate, time) and accuracy.
    • This automation enhances the efficiency and reproducibility of enzyme kinetic studies.
