Key Equations

$$k = A \, e^{-E_a / RT}$$
$$\Delta G^\ddagger = \Delta H^\ddagger - T \Delta S^\ddagger$$
$$v = k[\text{HA}][\text{S}] \quad \text{or} \quad v = k[\text{B}][\text{S}]$$
$$\Delta G_\text{binding}^\ddagger > \Delta G_\text{binding}^{\text{ES}} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \text{Transition state binds more tightly}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
