Enzymology

the ratio of turnover number to Michaelis constant, used to compare how efficiently an enzyme converts competing substrates at low concentration.

In enzymology, specificity constant refers to the ratio of turnover number to Michaelis constant, used to compare how efficiently an enzyme converts competing substrates at low concentration. This meaning comes from Eisenthal (2007) in Trends in Biotechnology.[1]
