“…For a multidimensional condensed-phase system such as the active site of an enzymecatalyzed reaction, it is not always clear how best to choose the reaction coordinate. Most work uses a simple function of valence coordinates (e.g., geometrical parameters such as a dihedral angle or the difference between the making and breaking bond lengths), 11,13,36,55,[167][168][169][170] whereas other studies employ a collective bath coordinate, as in Marcus theory: 29,32,68-70,73,171,172,183 (12) where V R and V P are, respectively, the energy of the diabatic reactant electronic state and the diabatic product electronic state. 60,68 In many cases, it is possible that both definitions of the reaction coordinate are adequate.…”
