  "term": "Dynamic reaction path",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A trajectory in phase space that describes the time-evolution of a chemical reaction, considering the motion of atoms under the influence of the potential energy surface. Unlike a static reaction path, it accounts for the kinetic energy and momentum of the reacting species. This approach is often used in molecular dynamics simulations to understand reaction mechanisms.",
