Vibrational coherence refers to the phenomenon where multiple vibrational modes in a molecule or system oscillate in a coordinated and phase-locked manner. This means that the atoms are moving in a synchronized way, rather than randomly. In the context of enzyme catalysis, it is theorized that vibrational coherence could enhance catalytic efficiency by facilitating the reaction process. The underlying idea is that if specific vibrational modes of the enzyme and/or the substrate are coherently excited, these vibrations could drive the reaction towards t....
