Before revision: We propose a new approximation to the description of intracellular dynamics , based on quantum principles. We introduce the notion of "Catalytic force" Cf , as a back-action effect of the molecular target of catalysis on the catalytic microenvironment , adjusting the microenvironment towards a state that facilitates the catalytic act.
After revision: We propose a new approximation to the description of intracellular dynamics . We discuss what principal elements any such good approximation should contain. As one such element, the notion of "Catalytic force" Cf , as a back-action effect of the molecular target of catalysis on the catalytic microenvironment , adjusting the microenvironment towards a state that facilitates the catalytic act.
