[edit] Schiff base catalysis

Would this mention belong better in the acid/base catalysis section? I wouldnt know.... - Zephyris Talk 00:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

No it is a form of covalent catalysis, despite the name, and is in the correct section. TimVickers 00:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Free energy vs. activation free energy

In the section about induced fit catalysis care should be taken to distinguish between the free energy of reactionand(ΔG)amd the activation free energy (ΔG). The sentence "...have been evolutionarily chosen to minimize the ΔG of the reaction" e.g. is misleading, it should read ΔG 555+ instead. - Marsipan Talk 2:27, 24 September 2007 (GMT)
