International units to microkatals
Type a value in U to get it in µkat instantly.
0.01667µkat
That's about the same as a laboratory assay. That converts about 1.004×10¹⁶ molecules every second.
Convert the other way: µkat to U
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 µkat
To convert international units to microkatals, multiply by 0.0166667.
Example: 1 U × 0.0166667 = 0.0166667 µkat.
In the other direction, 1 µkat = 60 U.
