Abstract

A model for enzymic catalysis is presented using the mathematical theories of differential geometry and Stieltjes integration. The Stieltjesintegrator is a complex-valued function of bounded variation which represents the curvature and torsion, hence the conformation, of the backbone of an enzyme molecule. Theintegrand is a complex-valued continuous function which describes the shape of the surface of a substrate molecule. We postulate that enzyme-substrate interactions correspond to evaluations of Stieltjes integrals, and that observables of enzymic catalysis correspond to projections.
