International units to nanokatals

Type a value in U to get it in nkat instantly.

16.67nkat

That's about the same as a laboratory assay. That converts about 1.004×10¹⁶ molecules every second.

What it means

How fast does it work?

Activity depends on temperature, pH and substrate concentration, so figures are only comparable under the same assay conditions.

The math

How to convert U to nkat

To convert international units to nanokatals, multiply by 16.6667.

Example: 1 U × 16.6667 = 16.6667 nkat.

In the other direction, 1 nkat = 0.06 U.
