In this article we demonstrate the channel-forming ability of trichotoxin and describe experiments aimed at elucidating its molecularity. |
In general the dimension of rate constants strictly follows from the molecularity of the elementary reaction which they describe. |
Sometimes the molecularity of a reaction can be used to guess if an elementary reaction is a rate-determining step. |
The reverse process in solution, has a molecularity of unity and is said to be unimolecular. |
The molecularity of an elementary reaction is the number of molecules coming together to react in an elementary reaction. |
