Likely reasons for this selective enhancement effect are: (a) increased transition-state stabilization due to hydrogen bonding in the macrocyclic pocket and (b) reduced entropic penalty in the transition state due to an increased fraction of pre-reaction complexes that are oriented in a near attack conformation. cache/4m90dv15v3z.txt txt/4m90dv15v3z.txt
