Figure 3. Reaction coordinate diagram comparing enzyme-catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions.

A quantitative expression developed by Albery and Knowles to describe the effectiveness of a catalyst in accelerating a chemical reaction. The function, which depends on magnitude of the rate constants describing individual steps in the reaction, reaches a limiting value of unity when the reaction rate is controlled by diffusion. For the interconversion of dihydroxacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, the efficiency function equals 2.5 x 10 for a simple carboxylate catalyst in a nonenzymic process and 0.6 for the enzyme-catalyzed process. Albery and Knowles suggest that evolution has produced a nearly perfect catalyst in the form of triose-phosphate isomerase. See Reaction Coordinate Diagram... 

Figure 1. A hypothetical reaction coordinate diagram for an enzyme-catalyzed chemical reaction.

In what is now a classical study in enzyme kinetics, W. J. Albery and J. R Knowles developed a strategy for establishing a reaction coordinate diagram (shown in Fig. 2) for triose-phosphate isomerase catalysis using solvent exchange and kinetic isotope effect data.

It is the proton gradient that causes the enzyme to release the ATP formed on its surface. The reaction coordinate diagram of the process (Fig. 19-22) illustrates the difference between the mechanism of ATP synthase and that of many other enzymes that catalyze ender-gonic reactions. 

A complete kinetic scheme has been established for the enzyme from both sources. The L. casei dihydrofolate reductase followed a reaction sequence identical to the E. coli enzyme (Scheme I) moreover, none of the rate constants varied by more than 40-fold Figure 20 is a reaction coordinate diagram comparing the steady-state turnover pathway for E. coli and L. casei dihydrofolate reductase, drawn at an arbitrary saturating concentration (1 mM) of NADPH at pH 7. The two main differences are (i) L. casei dihydrofolate reductase binds NADPH more tightly in both binary (E-NH, -2 kcal/mol) and tertiary (E NH-H2F, - 1.4 kcal/mol E-NH-H4F, - 1.8 kcal/mol) complexes, and (ii) the internal equilibrium constant (E-NH H2F E-N-H4F) for hydride transfer is less favorable for the L. casei enzyme (1 kcal/mol). These changes, as noted later, are smaller than those observed for single amino acid substitutions at the active site of either enzyme. Thus, the overall kinetic sequence as well as the... 

Figure 8.58 Schematic illustration of reaction coordinate diagram of Triose Phosphate Isomerase (TIM) enzyme illustrating near perfect energy landscape pathway allowing for near perfect 1 1 1 stoichiometric equilibrium between all enzyme-bound species optimal for flux through from one enzyme-bound species to another. Enzyme turnover rate kobs is at the diffusion limit, the rate determining step is the association of dihydroxy acetone phosphate (DHAP) with the TIM catalytic site, see Fig. 8.1, hence chemistry is not rate limiting. Therefore, TIM is considered a perfect enzyme For TIM enzyme assay see Fig. 8.17 for TIM enzyme mechanism see Fig. 8.49 (illustration adapted from Knowles, 1991, Fig. 2).

Figure 3. Computed three-dimensional free energy diagram for proline racemase x-axis, the reaction coordinate y-axis, free energy and z-axis, substrate saturation. At the front of the diagram, [S] = [P] = 1 /aM, where the enzyme is unsaturated at the back of the diagram, [S] = [P] = 1 M, where the enzyme is oversaturated.

From the idea of enzyme kinetics as a binding and a reaction step with the corresponding course of the energy curve in the Gibbs free enthalpy-reaction coordinate (AG - E) diagram, the reaction scheme represented by Eq. (2.1) can be drawn.
