Protein electron transfer: Dynamics and statistics.
Electron transfer between redox proteins participating in energy chains of biology is required to proceed with high energetic efficiency, minimizing losses of redox energy to heat. Within the standard models of electron transfer, this requirement, combined with the need for unidirectional (preferably activationless) transitions, is translated into the need to minimize the reorganization energy ...
متن کاملProtein conformational dynamics probed by single-molecule electron transfer.
Electron transfer is used as a probe for angstrom-scale structural changes in single protein molecules. In a flavin reductase, the fluorescence of flavin is quenched by a nearby tyrosine residue by means of photo-induced electron transfer. By probing the fluorescence lifetime of the single flavin on a photon-by-photon basis, we were able to observe the variation of flavin-tyrosine distance over...
متن کاملUltrafast electron transfer, recombination and spin dynamics
The quenching of excited singlet methylene blue (IMB + * ) by N,N-dimethylaminomethylferrocene (FcN) in acetonitrile at room temperature has been studied using femtosecond pump-probe absorption spectroscopy. At high FcN concentration static quenching via an intermolecular electron transfer mechanism constitutes the predominating decay channel for l MB + * The time constants of the large amplitu...
متن کاملInterprotein electron transfer in a confined space: uncoupling protein dynamics from electron transfer by sol-gel encapsulation.
In this paper, we describe the first observations of photoinitiated interprotein electron transfer (ET) within sol-gels. We have encapsulated three protein-protein complexes, specifically selected because they represent a full range of affinities, are sensitive to different types of dynamic processes, and thus are expected to respond differently to sol-gel encapsulation. The three systems are (...
متن کاملDynamics of reversible electron transfer reactions
The dynamics of reversible electron transfer reactions in Debye solvents are studied by employing two coupled diffusion-reaction equations with the rate constants depending on the reaction coordinate. The equations are solved analytically in four limiting cases: fast and slow reactions as well as wide and narrow reaction windows. A general solution for the survival probabilities is obtained by ...
