Which characteristic dictates the catalytic efficiency of enzymes?

💡 Explanation

The enzyme's affinity to the transition state dictates turnover, because transition state stabilization reduces the required Gibbs free energy via orbital steering. Therefore, highest catalytic efficiency is achieved, rather than merely binding reactant to lower activation.
