Energetics of enzyme catalysis.

Open access
Warshel, A·1978·Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Quantitative studies of the energetics of enzymatic reactions and the corresponding reactions in aqueous solutions indicate that charge stabilization is the most important energy contribution in enzyme catalysis. Low electrostatic stabilization in aqueous solutions is shown to be consistent with surprisingly large electrostatic stabilization effects in active sites of enzymes. This is established quantitatively by comparing the relative stabilization of the transition states of the reaction of lysozyme and the corresponding reaction is aqueous solution.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
