| Abstract: | The electronic-conformational interactions (ECI) in enzyme-substrate complexes are illustrated by an elementary model of electron oscillating in a parabolic potential box. The decrease in activation energy for the elementary act of enzymatic reaction is due to ECI-to increased pressure at the walls of the box produced by excited electron. |
