Proton-Transfer in Enzymatic Catalysis

  • Chapter
Proton-Transfer Reactions

Abstract

Enzymatic catalysis has fascinated biochemists and physical and organic chemists alike for several generations. By their specificity and their catalytic efficiency enzymes are even today the paragons of homogeneous catalysis, especially when catalysis in aqueous media at neutral pH values is concerned. Thus, the mechanism of enzymatic catalysis is the subject of more intense study than ever before.
