Keywords:Enzyme fast reactions; Upper limit; Spatial factor; Force field factor; Active site; Substrate; Role of the main protein

Short Communication

About 47 years ago a very important paper on the rate of diffusion-controlled reactions of enzyme [1] was published. According to its deduction, the upper limit of enzyme-substrate reaction is 1010/Msec, which is one order of magnitude higher than the conventional estimation by Manfred Eigen [2], who won the 1967 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the work on measuring fast chemical reactions [2]. The upper limit has been confirmed by a series of follow-up studies [3-10]. It is indeed very significant and profound for such a breakthrough or revolution in enzyme fast reaction. Particularly, it has also been supported by the eight masterpiece papers of the then Chairman of the Nobel Prize Committee [7, 8, 11-16].
