title: The critical spherical shell in enzymatic fast reaction systems.
abstract: As we go more deeply into the theoretical analysis and actual calculations for enzymatic fast reaction systems, the concept of the critical shell would naturally be confronted with. In this paper, a formula is presented to estimate the thickness of the critical shell. An on such a basis, we have made calculations and discussed the influences of various factors such as short-range force, long-range force, activation energy and cavity-active site upon the thickness of the critical spherical shell.
