megakatal to terakatal
Convert megakatal (Mkat) to terakatal (Tkat). Use an editable catalytic activity converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 Mkat = 0.000001 Tkat
Conversion formula
One megakatal equals 0.000001 terakatal. Multiply your value in megakatal by this factor to get terakatal. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 megakatal:5 × 0.000001 = 0.000005 Tkat

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 megakatal is 1,000,000 base units; one terakatal is 1e+12 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.
