enzyme unit

Rondl flew close to the enzyme unit's trigger mechanism.

The enzyme unit was adopted by the International Union of Biochemistry in 1964.

Enzyme units are, however, still more commonly used than the katal in practice at present, especially in biochemistry.

The biochemical equivalent is the enzyme unit.

The enzyme unit (U) is a unit for the amount of a particular enzyme.

It replaces the non-SI enzyme unit.

The enzyme unit should not be confused with the International Unit (IU), an unrelated measure of biologically active substances.

Amounts of enzymes can either be expressed as molar amounts, as with any other chemical, or measured in terms of activity, in enzyme units.

The IU should not be confused with the enzyme unit, also known as the 'International unit of enzyme activity' and abbreviated as 'U'.

Since the minute is not an SI unit, the enzyme unit is discouraged in favour of the katal, the unit recommended by the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1978 and officially adopted in 1999.

In the whole midgut, activity rises from a baseline of approximately 3 enzyme units (EU) per midgut to a maximum of 12 EU at 30 hours after the blood meal, subsequently falling to baseline levels by 60 hours.
