Can the local electric field be a descriptor of catalytic activity? A case study on chorismate mutase.

Abstract excerpt

The current theoretical perception of enzymatic activity is highly reliant on the determination of the activation energy of the reactions, which is often calculated using computationally demanding quantum mechanical calculations. With the ever-increasing use of bioengineering techniques that produce too many variants of the same enzyme, a fast and accurate way to study the relative efficiency of enzymes is...
