https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.K03372
Unit for catalytic activity coherent with the SI, equal to the catalytic activity that catalyses a reaction rate of one @M03980@ per second in an @A00470@ system. \(1\ \text{kat} = 1\ \text{mol s}^{-1}\). The katal is recommended for use in the specific context of @E02159@ and clinical chemistry.
