Katal

SI derived unit of catalytic activity

The katal (symbol: kat) is a unit of the International System of Units (SI) used for quantifying the catalytic activity of enzymes (that is, measuring the enzymatic activity level in enzyme catalysis) and other catalysts. One katal is the catalytic activity that will raise the rate of conversion by one mole per second in a specified assay system. The unit "katal" is not attached to a specified measurement procedure or assay condition, but any given catalytic activity is: the value measured depends on experimental conditions that must be specified.
