There is increasing interest in studying protein interactions and their role in cell biology using kinetics. However, there is confusion about the proper terminology in terms of the distinction between rates and rate constants. We recommend a more stringent use of the words speed, fast, slow, rate, and rate constant.
人们越来越感兴趣地使用动力学研究蛋白质相互作用及其在细胞生物学中的作用。然而,在区分速率和速率常数方面,术语的使用存在混淆。我们建议更严格地使用速度、快、慢、速率和速率常数这几个词。
