Kinetic Perfection is not noted much on the internet. It is hard to find articles on it anywhere, even though it is a useful toptic for students of Biochemistry, Cell Biology and Microbiology. It is not well understood how this phenomenon has come about in many cases, and more exposure may increase the interestin this field. TJClark (talk) 19:22, 24 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

If Kinetic Perfection is not very notable, then maybe it shouldn't be on Wikipedia.Simplebutpowerful 19:18, 24 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

It's not as though we can run out of space on Wikipedia. This just adds to the pool of knowledge. TJClark (talk) 19:22, 24 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

If it's not noted much on the Internet, and there aren't good print sources that discuss the idea either, then how do we know this article isn't just original research? — KieferSkunk (talk) — 19:29, 24 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

It's not original research, it's just a well established, yet small, phenomenon. You can find it mentioned in some Biochemistry text books, but as only a few enzymes display this feature it isn't written about a lot. Feel free to learn more about it and expand the article.

If something is mentioned in Stryer (Biochemistry), then it is well established. --Cvf-ps (talk) 13:07, 24 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

This idea is well established in the primary literature, even if it isn't on the internet. See the work of Jeremy Knowles: Accounts of Chemical Research, 1977, 10, 105-111 and Angewandte Chemie Int. Ed. Engl. 1977, 16, 285-293. Everyone in catalysis knows about this work... Eugene Kwan (talk) 22:01, 3 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Well, I've added a figure based on the data in 'The Moderately Efficient Enzyme: Evolutionary and Physicochemical Trends Shaping Enzyme Parameters' Hopefully that at least helps. T. Shafee (Evo&Evo) (talk) 16:01, 2 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Proposed move

edit

I propose moving the article to diffusion limited enzyme since I think that the current title is lab slang/jargon. What do people reckon? T. Shafee (Evo&Evo) (talk) 00:04, 9 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
