Free-energy profile of the reaction catalyzed by triosephosphate isomerase

Biochemistry. 1976 Dec 14;15(25):5627-31. doi: 10.1021/bi00670a031.

Abstract

The experimental results on the interconversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate catalyzed by triosephosphate isomerase that are presented in the previous five papers are here collected and analyzed according to the theory presented in the first paper (Albery, W.J., Knowles, J.R. (1976), Biochemistry 15, the first of eight papers in a series in this issue). The rate constants and fractionation factors so derived allow the construction of theGibbs free-energy profile for this enzyme-catalyzed reaction.
