The identificationof intermediates during catalysis provides positive “proof” for a particular reaction pathway and, accordingly, many attempts to solve an enzymatic mechanism have centered on efforts to iso-late or provide evidence for a given intermediate. However, the identification of an intermediate is only one part of a larger goal to establish a reaction sequence and to provide a complete kinetic and thermodynamic description of the catalytic pathway. Moreover, in the absence of a complete kinetic characterization, one cannot prove that a new species observed spectroscop-ically or isolated and identified chemicallycorresponds to a true reaction intermediate. In this review, we will examine the criteria used to establish a reaction path-way and to identify intermediates with a focus on the
