Abstract
Elucidating how enzymes enhance the rates of the reactions that they catalyze is a major goal of contemporary biochemistry, and it is an area in which computational and theoretical techniques can make a major contribution. This article outlines some of the processes that need to be investigated if enzyme catalysis is to be understood, reviews the current state‐of‐the‐art in enzyme simulation work, and highlights challenges for the future. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
