Sentence examples for being the slow step from inspiring English sources

A kinetic isotope effect was observed when deuterated acetone was compared to normal acetone, consistent with C H bond cleavage being the slow step in the catalytic oxidation of this substrate.

Char gasification, being the slower step, is believed to control the overall conversion process.

This means that surface reaction being the slowest step in the reaction kinetics is the rate-controlling step in the sorption process.

Despite being the slowest step of the reaction, branched intermediate formation in the Mja KlbA intein is efficient in comparison with those of other intein systems.

(20) A recent study by the Muir group directly monitoring the formation of the succinimide product from a semisynthetic branched intermediate presents strong evidence that favors intein-succinimide formation being the slowest step in the Mxe GyrA intein splicing mechanism.

The measured rates for WT agree well with previous single turnover measurements (Leskovar et al., 2008 ), however, we find that decoupling the closure rate from hydrolysis results in a reassignment of the previous rates with closure being the slowest step.

From these data one concludes that the activation of the nitrogen molecules is the slow step (the process that limits the overall reaction) in ammonia synthesis.

Depending on rotation rate, first, surface migration and then first electron transfer is the slow step.

Transformation of oxychloride to tetrachloroaluminate is the slow step; its specific rate constant ks and its order α have been determined (ks = 0.19 mol−1 kgs−1; α = 2).

To the extent that hexachloroethane reduction to tetrachloroethylene occurs through a pentachloroethane intermediate, the first step in the sequence, the microbially-mediated step, is the slow step; the subsequent abiotic dehydrohalogenation step occurs much more rapidly.

Experimental data, as well as theoretical considerations lead to the conclusion that adsorption of the added anions is the slow step of the process that increases the reaction rate.
