Comparison of rate enhancements for compact and diffuse transient-complex ensembles. For the spherical target with radius R, the interaction potential is given by U = U* for R < r < 4R and 0 elsewhere (r: radial distance). The binding site is either a patch with an area fraction of 2.5 × 10−5 or is the whole surface. The cylindrical target features a binding site on an infinite cylinder with radius R. The binding site length is either 0.02R or 200R. The interaction potential is given by U = U* for R < ρ < 7R and 0 elsewhere (ρ: distance to the cylinder axis). The results were obtained from analytical solutions given by Zhou and Szabo.76
