The role of oxygen diffusivity in biochemical reactions.
It has been shown that increasing protein concentrations can decrease oxygen diffusion in 3 in vitro systems. We postulate that it is possible, and in some circumstances probable, that diffusion might be a rate limiting step in both in vitro and in vivo biological systems.
