How to convert  2×10^(9) M^(-1) × s^(-1) to µM^(-1) × s^(-1)???
I know that 1  molar = 1,000,000 micromolar, and that it should go six digits. However, my measurement units delineates the binding rates of ions to proteins. THus, if I go by the conventional way, it would be 2 × 10^(15) µM^(-1) × s^(-1). However, when I compare this to existing measurement units in existing scientific literature, it doesn't correspond. Should it go the other way? Anyone who's good at advanced chemistry please explain this to me.

Patience, we're not all sat in front of the screen 25-8.

I would suggest that as it's 1/M, that you divide by a million, rather than multiply
