Enzyme Catalysis and the Gibbs Energy
Ault, Addison
Journal of Chemical Education, v86 n9 p1069-1071 Sep 2009
Gibbs-energy profiles are often introduced during the first semester of organic chemistry, but are less often presented in connection with enzyme-catalyzed reactions. In this article I show how the Gibbs-energy profile corresponds to the characteristic kinetics of a simple enzyme-catalyzed reaction. (Contains 1 figure and 1 note.)
