Catalytic-activity fraction (cat.fr.)

Synonym

 Chemical amount

Abbreviation

 Cat.fr.

Definition in words

Catalytic-activity of component B divided by catalytic-activity of system 1

Note 1: Component B is a catalytic component

Note 2: Component B can be an isoenzynes of all isoenzymes (system 1)

Note 3: System 1 is all isoenzymes of a particular “enzyme family”

Definition by equation

Systematic terms

 Catalytic-activity fraction of component B in system 1

Result type

 Rational scale
  • Value sets are positive numerical values
  • Algebraic operations are allowed (a=nb; a≠nb)
 Numerical values from 0-∞

Unit

 10-18, 10-15, 10-12, 10-9, 10-6, 10-3, 1 (one), etc.

Special rule(s) in the NPU syntax

The catalytic entities (component B and system 1) are  termed according to the International Enzyme Nomenclature (see Medical and metrological vocabulary).

Unit, one (1) is omitted in the NPU syntax

“Procedure” is stated in the specification to the kind-of-property in the NPU definition.

“Procedure” indicates that the measurement procedure must be stated somewhere else than the NPU code and there may be difficulties in comparing values for the same NPU code.

Date Notes

Example
2019-06-04 Catalytic component B is an enzyme, defined by the international enzyme nomenclature (https://www.expasy.org/), and shall be used for catalytic-activity kinds-of-property. Proteins are defined and termed by UNIPROT (https://www.uniprot.org/) and should not be used in relation to catalytic-activity kinds-of-property. Though there are overlaps between these two nomenclatures..

The enzyme and protein nomenclatures can have different terms for the same molecule.

  • ABC-type protein transporter (Enzyme nomenclature, identifier EC 7.4.2.5).
  • Alpha-hemolysin (Protein nomenclature, UP identifier P09616).
