Proton tunnelling in hydrogen bonds and its implications in an induced-fit model of enzyme catalysis
The role of proton tunnelling in biological catalysis is investigated here within the frameworks of quantum information theory and thermodynamics. We consider the quantum correlations generated through two hydrogen bonds between a substrate and a prototypical enzyme that first catalyses the tautomer...
