upper pathway, the observed rates of the fast and slow processes would be given by:
k obs F

16. The Gibbs free energy (ΔG) of a reaction depends only on the
free energy of the products (the final state) minus the free
energy of the reactants (the initial state). The ΔG of a reaction
is therefore independent of the path (or molecular mechanism) of the transformation. The free energy change, and
therefore the K d , must be the same for both pathways.
