  • Specific electromagnetic shapes in the enzyme have to match specific atoms in the reactants, in order to pull the reactants into the intermediate state for the reaction.

  • Only two reactants, activated amino acids and the DRT itself, are initially required for useful translation.

    Are Stereochemical Explanations Causally Sufficient? 2010

  • Marcus's theory predicts how the rate varies with the driving force for the reaction, i.e. the difference in energy between reactants and products, and counter to intuition he found that it does not increase continuously, but goes through a maximum, into the Marcus inverted region, which has later been confirmed experimentally.

  • If this is done by rapid mixing of the reactants, the time limit is about one thousandth of a second (millisecond).

  • As Ravi points out in 1988, the mechanism was pretty well understood by 1971, but the finer details of the kinetics and understanding of the distributions of the various reactants are still being worked on.

  • Reaction rates are proportional to the concentrations of the reactants and a constant, called the rate constant, so if the rate constants are roughly the same, and HO2 is present, as it is in the atmosphere, in a ten times or more higher concentration, the reaction involving HO2 will go ten times faster.
