What is a turnover number of an enzyme?..

Answer / Rahul Sajwan

The turnover number (kcat) of an enzyme is a measure of its catalytic efficiency, defined as the number of substrate molecules converted to product per enzyme molecule per second under steady-state conditions. It provides insight into an enzyme's capacity for catalysis and can be influenced by factors such as temperature, pH, and enzyme concentration.
