katal to kilokatal
Convert katal (kat) to kilokatal (kkat). Use an editable catalytic activity converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 kat = 0.001 kkat
Conversion formula
One katal equals 0.001 kilokatal. Multiply your value in katal by this factor to get kilokatal. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 katal:5 × 0.001 = 0.005 kkat

About these measurements
Catalytic activity expresses the rate of a catalyzed reaction in moles per second.
The base reference used here is the katal. One katal is 1 base units; one kilokatal is 1,000 base units.
Important distinctions
Assay conditions must match before comparing enzyme measurements.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
