Kinetics of diffusion‐controlled reaction between chemically asymmetric molecules. II. Approximate steady‐state solution

Abstract: The previously published equation for the rate of a diffusion-limited bimolecular reaction between chemically asymmetric molecules is studied numerically for the case that one of the reactant molecules is uniform. The results are reproduced quite well by a simple approximate chemical-kinetic steady-state scheme and, in principle, allow estimates of the size of the reactive region and of the activation-controlled rate to be made from the observed dependence of rate on solvent viscosity. The simple scheme is eas… Show more

“…Specific association rate constants at defined sites can be reduced significantly from the 108-109 M-' s-' expected for diffusion-controlled reactions by a variety of factors including restricted solid angle geometry (Solc & Stockmayer, 1973), conformational changes in which the substrate reacts with a minor conformer, association coupled with pre-organization or desolvation of the binding site (Julin & Kirsch, 1989;Cannon et al, 1996), or association with a minor prototropic form of the enzyme or ligand.…”

“…It has long been recognized that this assumption does not hold in many cases, and extensive theoretical approaches have been proposed to correct for the anisotropic reactivity of reactants (see, e.g., refs. [22][23][24][25][26]. In most of these models, the reactive sites are assumed to be on the surface of the molecules (22)(23)(24).…”

“…Since the classical theory is only strictly applicable to spherical molecules of uniform surface reactivity, a number of refinements to the basic theory have been proposed. The theory has been extended to n~olecules with orientation constraints due to limited accessibility of their active sites (5)(6)(7)(8)(9). Even moderate steric requirements (5-7) can produce drastic reductions in the diffusion controlled rate constants.…”
