The rate-determining step (RDS) is the slowest step in a reaction mechanism, effectively controlling the overall rate. Its transition state has the highest energy barrier. Modifying or catalyzing the RDS can dramatically change the reaction rate. Identifying the RDS is crucial for developing efficient synthetic routes and designing catalysts that lower this energy barrier.
