Diffusion control in a biochemical enzymatic reaction is the rate at which the enzyme can actually bind with its particular substrate. The upper bounds for the rate of enzymatic reactions is about 108 to 109. The reaction can reach these orders of rate by usually having electrostatic interactions. Normally only simple reactions such as proton transfers and such will reach these speeds
