The catalytic power of anenzyme is measured by the "turn
over number" or molecular activity.
it is defined as the number of substrate molecules
converted into product per unit time ,when the enzyme is
fully saturated with substrate.
for example catalase can convert 5,000,000 times its own
weight of H2O2 into H20 and O2.
the value of turn over number varies with different enzymes
and depends upon the conditions in which the reaction is
taking place.
most of the turnover numbers fall between 1 to 10 powers 4.
