摘要
We present the results of an exact analysis of a model energy landscape of a protein to clarify the idea of the transition state and the physical meaning of the phi 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.
