Abstract excerpt
Observed shift from temperature (T)-independent hydrogen tunneling kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) in enzymes to T-dependent KIEs in mutants has been attributed to the donor(D)-acceptor(A) separation effects caused by the weakened protein dynamical compression of D-A distances (DADs) in mutants. To examine the relationship between D-A separations (DADs) and T-dependence of KIEs (represented by ΔEa = EaD - EaH), we...
