As stated earlier, the literature seems to be replete with arguments about what a turnover number and turnover frequency should be. Issues regarding this are reserved for the discussion section. Equation ( ) is strictly applicable to conditions that validate the Michaelian equation for short, foremost being that [ST] is ≫ [ET] (both concentrations must be in molar units). Here, one argues that the number of catalytic cycles may not be the same as the turnover number. Besides, the questions arising from Eq. ( ) are as follows:
