Table 8.

Kinetic isotope effects on the (A) native, (B) S3′, and (C) S5′ simplest models of RNA transphosphorylation in solution. All values are computed from the Bigeleisen equation. “--” denotes the molecular structure of that particular state could not be determined.

[a]

As in Table 2, the ETS is determined but along with very small value of non-reactive imaginary frequency.

[b]

As in Table 2, the reactant is determined but along with very small value of non-reactive imaginary frequency.
