Abstract
We assume that the free intramolecular energy flow (intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution—IVR) between bonded substrate and enzyme can be restricted due to the presence of a metal atom near the binding site of enzyme. This restriction can represent one of the factors of enzyme catalysis. The concentration of energy evolved during the formation of enzyme-substrate complex in the bonded substrate enhances the reaction rate by several orders of magnitude in comparison with the case of free dissipation of evolved energy into the enzyme.
