  2. Turnover number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnover_number

    In enzymology, the turnover number (k cat) is defined as the limiting number of chemical conversions of substrate molecules per second that a single active site will execute for a given enzyme concentration [E T] for enzymes with two or more active sites. [1] For enzymes with a single active site, k cat is referred to as the catalytic constant. [2]

  3. Katal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katal

    The katal (symbol: kat) is that catalytic activity that will raise the rate of conversion by one mole per second in a specified assay system. [1] It is a unit of the International System of Units (SI) [1] used for quantifying the catalytic activity of enzymes (that is, measuring the enzymatic activity level in enzyme catalysis) and other catalysts.

  4. Specificity constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specificity_constant

    In the field of biochemistry, the specificity constant (also called kinetic efficiency or /), is a measure of how efficiently an enzyme converts substrates into products.A comparison of specificity constants can also be used as a measure of the preference of an enzyme for different substrates (i.e., substrate specificity).

  5. Enzyme unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme_unit

    The enzyme unit, or international unit for enzyme (symbol U, sometimes also IU) is a unit of enzyme's catalytic activity. [1]1 U (μmol/min) is defined as the amount of the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of one micro mole of substrate per minute under the specified conditions of the assay method.

  6. Katha (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katha_(unit)

    In Bihar, one Katha may vary from 720 to 3,267 square feet (ft 2). 1 Bigha = 20 Katha. One katha is divided in 20 dhur. One dhur is subdivided in 20 dhurki. The origin of the term and measurement unit was during the Pala Empire. [1] 1 Decimal = 435.6 square feet & 1 Acre = 100 decimal. [2] [3] In Patna & Arrah, 1 Katha is equal to 1,361.25 ft 2 ...

  7. Knot (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_(unit)

    1 international knot = 1 nautical mile per hour (by definition), 1 852.000 metres per hour (exactly), [5] 0.51444 metres per second (approximately), 1.15078 miles per hour (approximately), 20.25372 inches per second (approximately) 1.68781 feet per second (approximately). The length of the internationally agreed nautical mile is 1 852 m.

  8. Foot (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_(unit)

    In both customary and imperial units, one foot comprises 12 inches, and one yard comprises three feet. Since an international agreement in 1959, the foot is defined as equal to exactly 0.3048 meters. Historically, the "foot" was a part of many local systems of units, including the Greek, Roman, Chinese, French, and English systems. It varied in ...

  9. Bigha - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigha

    In Western UP, 1 bigha is usually equal to 5 biswa i.e. 6,806.25 square feet (632.321 m 2) or 756.25 square yard. In some districts it can be 6.6667 biswa i.e. 9,075 square feet (843.1 m 2) or 1,008.33 square yard. In Eastern UP, 1 bigha is equal to 20 biswa. Hence 1 Bigha in Purvanchal is 27,225 square feet (2,529.3 m 2) or 3,025 square yard.
