The kinetically controlled path for enzymatic decarboxylation of α,β-unsaturated acid is proposed based on DFT and TST methods. The mechanism involves fluctuation of the local dielectric environment in the active site of the FDC1 enzyme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
