Abstract excerpt
The vibrational Stark effect (VSE) has been used to measure the electric field in the active site of ketosteroid isomerase (KSI). These measured fields correlate with ΔG(⧧) in a series of conventional mutants, yielding an estimate for the electrostatic contribution to catalysis (Fried et al. Science 2014, 346, 1510-1513). In this work we test this result with much more conservative variants in which individual...
