"Proton holes" in long-range proton transfer reactions in solution and enzymes: A theoretical analysis.
Proton transfers are fundamental to chemical processes in solution and biological systems. Often, the well-known Grotthuss mechanism is assumed where a series of sequential "proton hops" initiates from the donor and combines to produce the net transfer of a positive charge over a long distance. Although direct experimental evidence for the sequential proton hopping has been obtained recently, a...
متن کاملToward theoretical analysis of long-range proton transfer kinetics in biomolecular pumps.
Motivated by the long-term goal of theoretically analyzing long-range proton transfer (PT) kinetics in biomolecular pumps, researchers made a number of technical developments in the framework of quantum mechanics-molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations. A set of collective reaction coordinates is proposed for characterizing the progress of long-range proton transfers; unlike previous suggestion...
متن کاملQuantum mechanical proton range in human body
Introduction: Proton therapy delivers radiation to tumor tissue in a much more confined way than conventional photon therapy thus allowing the radiation oncologist to use a greater dose while still minimizing side. Materials and Methods: protons release most of their energy within the tumor region. As a result, the treating physician can potentially give an...

متن کاملTheoretical perspectives on proton-coupled electron transfer reactions.
This Account presents a theoretical formulation for proton-coupled electron transfer reactions. The active electrons and transferring protons are treated quantum mechanically, and the free energy surfaces are obtained as functions of collective solvent coordinates corresponding to the proton and electron transfer reactions. Rate expressions have been derived in the relevant limits, and methodol...
