aqueousmediated
Aqueousmediated refers to a process or reaction that occurs in the presence of water, where water plays an active role beyond simply being a solvent. In such processes, water molecules can participate directly in the chemical transformations, act as a catalyst, or influence the reaction pathway through hydrogen bonding and solvation effects. This contrasts with reactions where water is merely a passive medium for dissolving reactants.
Many biochemical processes are inherently aqueousmediated, as biological systems operate within an aqueous environment. Enzymes, for
The specific role of water in an aqueousmediated process can vary. It might act as a nucleophile,
