Enzymatic Catalysis
Linked via "Michaelis-Menten model"
Mechanism of Action and Transition State Stabilization
The core principle of enzymatic catalysis aligns with general chemical kinetics: lowering the $\text{E}_a$ allows a greater fraction of substrate molecules to overcome the energy barrier at physiological temperatures, thus increasing the reaction velocity ($v$). In the simplest Michaelis-Menten model, the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex ($\text{ES}$) is the initial, ra…
