Rate (kinetic) Reactions: =================== If the analyte is an enzyme, a molecule which can catalyze the conversion of unlimited numbers of reagent molecules (termed substrates) to product, the amount of product at the endpoint would not reflect the amount of enzyme. Instead, the endpoint would reflect the amount of substrate that was present. For this reason, enzyme activity is determined by a rate reaction rather than an endpoint reaction. In such cases determination of the enzyme concentration is based on how fast a fxed amount of substrate is converted to product. The more enzyme present, the faster the conversion. Examples of enzymes that are often measured in the clinical laboratory include lipase and alanine.
Rate reactions may also be used for measurement of analytes that are not enzymes. For example, if a reaction is very slow to reach an endpoint, a rate method may be more practical in order to obtain a result in a shorter timeframe. Some examples of analytes other than enzymes that are measured using rate reaction include ammonia (a waste product of protein metabolism) and amikacin (a therapeutic drug).

However, analysts are positive on the stock now. “We have seen a huge downside movement in the stock due to the central electricity regulatory commission’s (CERC) order that seems to be negative from 2014-15 onwards but we cannot take a linear negative view on the stock and further downside movement on the stock is unlikely. Currently stock is underpriced. Investors can bet on it for a longer horizon," said Vivek Gupta, director research at CapitalVia Global Research.
How to Invest in Bitcoin?
Like a stock, you can buy and hold Bitcoin as an investment. You can even now do so in special retirement accounts called Bitcoin IRAs. No matter where you choose to hold your Bitcoin, people’s philosophies on how to invest it vary: Some buy and hold long term, some buy and aim to sell after a price rally, and others bet on its price decreasing. Bitcoin’s price over time has experienced big price swings, going as low as $5,165 and as high as $28,990 in 2020 alone. “I think in some places, people might be using Bitcoin to pay for things, but the truth is that it’s an asset that looks like it’s going to be increasing in value relatively quickly for some time,” Marquez says. “So why would you sell something that’s going to be worth so much more next year than it is today? The majority of people that hold it are long-term investors.”
