Multi-exponential waiting-time distribution and randomness parameter greater than unity ascribe dynamic disorder in single-enzyme catalysis corroborated to the interplay of transforming conformers [English et al., Nat. Chem. Biol., 2006, 2, 87]. The associated multi-state model of enzymatic turnovers with statically heterogeneous catalytic rates misdescribes the non-linear uprising of the randomness parameter from unity in relation to the attributes of the fall-offs of the waiting-time distribution at different substrate concentrations. To resolve this crucial issue, we first employ a comprehensive stochastic reaction scenario and further rationalize and work out the minimal indispensable dynamic-disorder model that ensures the foregoing relationship upon comparison with the data. We elucidate that specific disregard for the transition rate coefficients in the multi-state model on account of the especially slow conformational transitions is the underlying reason for not achieving interrelation between the observables.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
