The thermodynamic terms ΔH0‡, ΔCp‡, ΔS0,Minf‡, and ΔG0,Max‡, an refer to the activation enthalpy, activation heat capacity, minimum activation entropy, and maximum activation free energy, respectively. The values of ΔH0‡ and ΔCp‡ are obtained by fitting the temperature-dependence of the kinetic rates (Table 1) to the extended Arrhenius equation (equation 1) using MATLAB. The values of ΔS0,Min‡ and ΔG0,Max‡ are obtained using ΔH0‡ in equation 2 and the relations in the materials and methods. 95% confidence intervals estimated using Monte Carlo analyses are shown in the brackets.
