Variational Transition State Theory
Transition state theory (TST) 1 is the most widely used theory for calculating rates of bimolecular eactions occurring in the gas phase and in condensed phases. TST is also incorporated into the widely used RRKM theory for unimolecular reactions. The popularity of TST is largely due to its simplicity and its usefulness for correlating trends in reaction rates in terms of easily interpreted quan...
متن کاملEnzymatic transition state theory and transition state analogue design.
The incredible catalytic rate enhancements caused by enzymes led Linus Pauling (1) to suggest that enzymes bind tightly to substrates distorted toward the transition state, thereby concentrating them and enforcing catalysis. Wolfenden (2) explained that chemically stable analogues that resemble the transition state would be expected to bind more tightly than substrate by factors resembling the ...
متن کاملConformation-Based Transition State Theory
For the treatment of equilibrated molecular systems in a heat bath we propose a transition state theory that is based on conformation dynamics. In general, a set-based discretization of a Markov operator P does not preserve the Markov property. In this article, we propose a discretization method which is based on a Galerkin approach. This discretization method preserves the Markov property of t...
متن کاملComparison of quantum dynamics and quantum transition state theory estimates of the H + CH4 reaction rate.
Thermal rate constants are calculated for the H + CH(4) --> CH(3) + H(2) reaction employing the potential energy surface of Espinosa-Garcia (Espinosa-Garcia, J. J. Chem. Phys. 2002, 116, 10664). Two theoretical approaches are used. First, we employ the multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree method combined with flux correlation functions. In this way rate constants in the range 225-400 K a...
متن کاملQuantum mechanical transition state theory and tunneling corrections
An efficient implementation of the quantum mechanical transition state theory recently proposed by Hansen and Andersen @J. Chem. Phys. 101, 6032 ~1994!; J. Phys. Chem. 100, 1137 ~1996!# is presented. Their method approximates the flux–flux autocorrelation function by using short-time information to fit an assumed functional form ~with physically correct properties!. The approach described here ...
