Electron tunneling through sensitizer wires bound to proteins.
We report a quantitative theoretical analysis of long-range electron transfer through sensitizer wires bound in the active-site channel of cytochrome P450cam. Each sensitizer wire consists of a substrate group with high binding affinity for the enzyme active site connected to a ruthenium-diimine through a bridging aliphatic or aromatic chain. Experiments have revealed a dramatic dependence of e...
متن کاملElectron tunneling pathways in proteins.
Long-range electronic interactions between electron donors and acceptors in proteins depend on the structure of the intervening polypeptide. Several methods have been developed for calculating these weak couplings. New challenges in protein electron-transfer research include identifying the role of protein dynamics, and characterizing multistep tunneling over very long distances.
متن کاملStrong Electron Tunneling through Mesoscopic Metallic Grains
We describe electron transport through small metallic grains with Coulomb blockade effects beyond the perturbative regime. For this purpose we study the real-time evolution of the reduced density matrix of the system. In the first part of the paper we present a diagrammatic expansion for not too high junction conductance, h/4πeRt ∼ 1, in a basis of charge states. Quantum fluctuations renormaliz...
متن کاملElectron Flow through Proteins.
Electron transfers in photosynthesis and respiration commonly occur between metal-containing cofactors that are separated by large molecular distances. Employing laser flash-quench triggering methods, we have shown that 20-Å, coupling-limited Fe(II) to Ru(III) and Cu(I) to Ru(III) electron tunneling in Ru-modified cytochromes and blue copper proteins can occur on the microsecond timescale both ...
متن کاملElectron hopping through proteins.
Biological redox machines require efficient transfer of electrons and holes for function. Reactions involving multiple tunneling steps, termed "hopping," often promote charge separation within and between proteins that is essential for energy storage and conversion. Here we show how semiclassical electron transfer theory can be extended to include hopping reactions: graphical representations (c...
