Talk:Turnover number

Untitled
400,000 to 600,000 molecules of CO2 a second? Shouldnt this be per mole of enzyme? It seems like it's a single enzyme. I'm not familiar with this enzyme but it seems a bit too much.
 * The current text is correct: "For example, carbonic anhydrase has a turnover number of 400,000 to 600,000 s−1, which means that each carbonic anhydrase molecule can produce up to 600,000 molecules of product (bicarbonate ions) per second" Lewisiscrazy (talk) 11:04, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

TOF and TON
maybe there should be 2 articles - one with TON (turnover number: mol(product) per mol(catalyst)) and one with TOF (turnover frequency or turnover rate: mol(product) per mol(catalyst) * time). Or a major article with 2 sections. But TON ist not TOF... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.20.33.51 (talk) 09:48, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
