Eyring enzyme framework: k_cat = (k_B T / h)·exp(-ΔG‡/RT) (transition-state rate)

Layer 2 — Chemistryin the bioorganic-chemistry subtree

The Eyring (1935) absolute-rate-theory expression specialised to enzyme turnover — k_cat is written as a universal frequency prefactor k_B·T/h (with h Planck's constant, k_B Boltzmann's constant, T absolute temperature) times the Boltzmann…
