Abstract
Physical organic chemists love a straight line and we call these Linear Free Energy Relationships (LFERs); they allow us to graphically correlate a quantity that we have measured (y axis) against a parameter that depends on molecular structure (x axis). These relationships can be difficult to tease out, as was the case for the 32 molecules studied in this work. A complicating factor was that their reaction is enzyme catalysed, inviting use of Fischer’s lock and key metaphor. Once the underlying trend was found, however, the result was elegant and satisfying, rather like scratching an itch.
