Beyond the Historical Perspective on Hydrogen and Electron Transfers

Abstract

A brief overview of proton and electron transfer history is given, and various features influencing enzymatic catalysis are discussed. Examples of generic behavior are considered, together with questions that can be addressed for both experimental and computational results. Examples of high and low pre-exponential factors A of the intrinsic rate constant k_H ranging from ~10^(17) s^(-1) to ~10^4 s^(-1) and normal (~10^(13)) are noted with significant error bars and discussed.
