Units of enzyme activity
TLDR
In this article, the Nomenclature Committee on enzymes of the International Union of Biochemistry described the unit E (U), introduced in 1961 and its derivatives: specific activity, molecular (molar) activity, enzyme catalytic center activity and enzyme solution concentration.Abstract:
Units of enzymes activity, recommended by the Nomenclature Committee on enzymes of the International Union of Biochemistry are described the unit E (U), introduced in 1961 and its derivatives: specific activity, molecular (molar) activity, enzyme catalytic centre activity, enzyme solution concentration; the unit catal, introduced in 1972 and its derivatives Information presented is essential to ensure correct expression of enzyme activityread more

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that rates of prothrombin and p-nitroaniline production can be converted to absolute thrombin concentrations using the Michaelis-Menten equation, substituted with values for kcat and Km.
Engineering lipases and solvents for trans/-esterification of used vegetable oils
TL;DR: There appears to be a correlation between the solvent's hydrophobicity (log P) and biodiesel yield, and the choice of lipase can have a considerable effect on the reaction kinetics and biod diesel yield.

Validating the inhibitory effects of d - and l -serine on the enzyme activity of d -3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenases that are purified from Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Escherichia coli and human colon
TL;DR: Results suggest that l-serine significantly repressed P. aeruginosa pathogenicity through inhibition of the function of the serA gene product, but was not able to inhibit the human PGDH activity.

Units and Methods of Proteolytic Activity Determination
TL;DR: A convenient gravity/spectrophotometer test of proteolytic activity with the use of three protein types has been proposed and gives high degree of confidence of the experimental determination for a wide spectrum of protease activity in samples of plant origin.
