bolism
Bolism refers to a phenomenon observed in some chemical reactions where the reaction rate increases significantly due to the presence of a substance that is not consumed in the overall process. This substance, known as a bolist, acts by facilitating the reaction through a series of intermediate steps. While often used interchangeably with catalysis, bolism specifically emphasizes the observed increase in reaction speed.
The mechanism by which a bolist operates involves a cycle where it interacts with reactants to form
Examples of bolism can be found in various chemical processes. For instance, certain enzymes in biological
