Abstract

We present the results of an exact analysis of a model energy landscape of a protein to clarify the notion of the transition state and the physical meaning of the ϕ values determined in protein engineering experiments. We benchmark our findings to various theoretical approaches proposed in the literature for the identification and characterization of the transition state.
