    • 3 ligands were used to replace histidine residues. Before frequencies were computed, the positions of the capping hydrogen atoms from the glutamic acid residues and ammonia hydrogen atoms were optimized, while freezing the rest of the structure.

    • note
    • Use of a small model can lead to the introduction of artificial imaginary frequencies. Some small imaginary frequencies are due to bending and stretching modes of the capping or ammonia hydrogens. Other imaginary frequencies are merely numerical noise from the computation. Some imaginary frequencies are due to instabilities created in the small model upon removal from the protein environment. Given the inability at present to carry out frequency calculations within the QM/MM framework, this last problem is unavoidable when it surfaces. Careful examination of the vibrational modes allows these imaginary frequencies to be sifted through and structures to be identified as valid stationary points. The impact of the erroneous negative frequencies on the zero-point energy is minimal since low frequency vibrations contribute least to this quantity. Thermodynamic quantities are also little affected since excited vibrational modes are largely unpopulated at room temperature. Energetic errors thus caused are expected to be much smaller than those in the electronic energy from the DFT calculation.

    • note
    • Small changes to the endothermicity in the calculation of the transmission coefficient lead to trivial changes in the KIE for methane, making such an approximation very reasonable.

    • note
    • Theoretical free energies and rate constants are calculated at 25 °C rather than 20 °C, since the experimental values (see refs 79 and 80) for the free energies of solvation for the substrates were determined at 25 °C.
