Recent data from studies of enzyme catalyzed hydrogen transfer reactions implicate a new theoretical context in which to understand C-H activation. This is much closer to the Marcus theory of electron transfer; in that environmental factors influence the probability of effective wave function overlap from donor to acceptor atoms. The larger size of hydrogen and the availability of three isotopes (H, D and T) introduce a dimension to the kinetic analysis that is not available for electron transfer. This concerns the role of gating between donor and acceptor atoms, in particular whether the system in question is able to tune distance between reactants to achieve maximal tunneling efficiency. Analysis of enzyme systems is providing increasing evidence of a role for active site residues in optimizing the inter-nuclear distance for nuclear tunneling. The ease with which this optimization can be perturbed, through site-specific mutagenesis or an alteration in reaction conditions, is also readily apparent from an analysis of the changes in the temperature dependence of hydrogen isotope effects.
