description

Highlights • The possible role of enzymatic reaction dynamical effects is examined. • Solution reactions usefully inform the issue of dynamical effects in enzymes. • Division into regions containing and away from the transition state is important. • Motions in passage to/from the transition state need not lead to dynamical effects. • Transition State Theory is usually a reasonable description of enzyme kinetics.
