Overview

Theory Transition State Theory (TST) is an important concept in chemistry and biochemistry. It describes the point at which a reaction is at its highest energy level, transitioning between reactants and products. By understanding the structure and nature of the transition state, scientists can better understand and control chemical and biological processes. TST is used to accurately explain the rates of reaction, to develop new catalysts and enzyme inhibitors, and to design drug molecules which have the properties necessary to interact with proteins or other biological molecules. It is essential to our understanding of biology, medicinal chemistry and other applications requiring chemical processes.
