We present an in-depth study on the theoretical calculation of an optimum reaction coordinate as a linear or nonlinear combination of important collective variables (CVs) sampled from an ensemble of reactive transition paths for an intramolecular proton transfer reaction catalyzed by the enzyme human carbonic anhydrase (HCA) II. The linear models are optimized by likelihood maximization for a given number of CVs. The nonlinear models are based on an artificial neural network with the same number of CVs and optimized by minimizing the root-mean-square error in comparison to a training set of committor estimators generated for the given transition. The nonlinear reaction coordinate thus obtained yields the free energy of activation and rate constant as 9.46 kcal mol–¹ and 1.25 × 10⁶ s–¹, respectively. These estimates are found to be in quantitative agreement with the known experimental results. We have also used an extended autoencoder model to show that a similar analysis can be carried out using a single CV only. The resultant free energies and kinetics of the reaction slightly overestimate the experimental data. The implications of these results are discussed using a detailed microkinetic scheme of the proton transfer reaction catalyzed by HCA II.
