摘要: Whilst catalyzing the chemical reaction for which they are specific, most enzymes undergo cyclic conformational changes. Because many amino acid residues in proteins carry a net charge and because helix has dipole moment, such changes cause interactions between local electric field catalytic cycle. In this chapter it is demonstrated that phenomenon at least three consequences. First, membrane generate “oscillating” around them while turning over. Secondly, an oscillating across will influence activity of membranous enzymes. A third consequence two close together may each others through Coulombic interaction. The latter can include transmission free energy. We point out these theoretical considerations relevant (i) experiments where extraneous fields have affected enzyme activities, (ii) there mutual not yet been identified, but could consist locally field, (iii) demonstrating ion pumps exhibit slip.
