Catalytic activity is a measure of the effectiveness of a catalyst in speeding up a chemical reaction. The standard unit for catalytic activity is the **katal**. 1 katal is defined as the amount of catalyst that converts 1 mole of substrate per second under specified conditions (such as temperature, pressure, and concentration). In practice, catalytic activity can also be expressed in terms of other units, depending on the context and the specific reaction conditions.
Degree Lintner refers to the concept introduced by economist John Lintner, primarily in the context of the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) and corporate finance. Lintner is known for his work on dividend policy, particularly his formulation of the "Lintner model," which describes how companies adjust their dividends in response to changes in earnings.
An enzyme unit (often referred to as "enzyme activity") is a measure of the activity of an enzyme. It quantifies the amount of substrate converted to product by the enzyme in a specific time frame under specified conditions. Typically, one enzyme unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of one micromole (μmol) of substrate per minute under optimal conditions, which may include temperature, pH, and substrate concentration.
The term "turnover number" can refer to a few different concepts depending on the context in which it is used.
