    The turnover number (number of molecules the enzyme can act on per second) for lactase dehydrogenase is 1,000 lactate molecules per second.

    In one minute, this becomes:

    (1,000 molecules / second) * (60 seconds / minute)

    = 60,000 molecules / minute

    In 21 minutes, this will be:

    60,000 * 21

    = 1.26 x 10⁶ molecules of lactate
