Type a value in kat to get it in U instantly.
60,000,000U
That's about the same as an industrial batch. That converts about 6.022×10²³ 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 kat to U
To convert katals to international units, multiply by 60,000,000.
Example: 1 kat × 60,000,000 = 60,000,000 U.
In the other direction, 1 U = 1.667×10⁻⁸ kat.
