It is shown that the ring of fractions of the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a separable infinite dimensional Banach space is isomorphic to the Adams completion of the algebra with respect to a carefully chosen set of morphisms in the category of separable infinite dimensional Banach spaces and bounded linear norm preserving operators of norms at most 1.
