Q10 (temperature coefficient)
text:
The Q10 temperature coefficient is a measure of temperature sensitivity based on the chemical reactions. The Q10 is calculated as: where; Rewriting this equation, the assumption behind Q10 is that the reaction rate R depends exponentially on temperature: Q10 is a unitless quantity, as it is the factor by which a rate changes, and is a useful way to express the temperature dependence of a process. For most biological systems, the Q10 value is ~ 2 to 3.
