Although endergonic initial steps can still produce an advantage over single-step tunneling, transport time constants increase by roughly one order of magnitude for each 100 meV increase in -ΔG° (Int→z.ast;ML). Hence, tunneling through less stable intermediates, although possible, offers neither a kinetic nor an energetic advantage over a reaction involving exergonic tunneling steps.
