Many enzymes display non-Arrhenius behaviour with curved Arrhenius plots in the absence
of denaturation. There has been significant debate about the origin of this behaviour and
recently the role of the activation heat capacity (Δ𝐶#
‡) has been widely discussed. If enzymecatalysed
reactions occur with appreciable negative values of Δ𝐶#
‡ (arising from narrowing of
the conformational space along the reaction coordinate), then curved ...
