Nanokatals to international units
Type a value in nkat to get it in U instantly.
0.06U
That's about the same as a trace of enzyme. That converts about 6.022×10¹⁴ molecules every second.
Convert the other way: U to nkat
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 nkat to U
To convert nanokatals to international units, multiply by 0.06.
Example: 1 nkat × 0.06 = 0.06 U.
In the other direction, 1 U = 16.6667 nkat.
