Abstract Enzymes exist in ensembles of states that encode the energetics underlying their catalysis. Conformational built from 1231 structures 17 serine proteases reveal atomic-level changes across reaction states, identify molecular features provide catalysis, and quantify energetic contributions to These enzymes precisely position reactants destabilized conformers, creating a downhill gradient selectively favors motions required for while limiting off-pathway conformational states. A local...
