Does the coupling between conformational fluctuation and enzyme catalysis involve a true phase transfer catalysis?

A theoretical model of the coupling between conformational fluctuation of the protein matrix and enzyme catalysis is here proposed. The model rests on the following assumptions: (1) The active site of the enzyme molecule can exist in at least two thermodynamically stable states: open and closed; (2)...
