Consider a mass m confined to a ring of radius r. The potential everywhere on the ring is zero. In the ml = +3 state, identify the points on the ring where the probability of the particle existing is zero. I was thinking that every point would be zero, because it's a wave, not a particle...

I'm not referring to a specific one. It is more of a thought experiment. I guess what I need help with is balancing kinetics with thermodynamics, and how all of it inter-relates.

The substrate has higher binding.

If it is thermodynamically spontaneous for substrate and product to bind to the enzyme, why does the enzyme ever release the product? For example the K association of a product to the enzyme might be 5,000 1/M, and so is obviously favored. Why does the product eventually leave the enzyme's...
