Abstract

In biological systems, the mechanisms of conversions and storage of energy involved sequences of oxido-reduction reactions in which electrons are transferred along a chain of redox centers embedded in a protein medium. The theoretical interpretation of the kinetics of these transfers pertains to Quamtum Mechanics, and was developed by chemists and physicists. However, owing to the fundamental importance of these processes, many biochemists are also concerned with these theories and their practical application to biological systems. This introductory chapter is an attempt to clarify the physical basis of current theoretical interpretations of biological electron transfers. It comprises an account of the standard formalism appropriate for non-adiabatic processes, and a analysis of kinetic data. Important advances in this field have resulted, on the one hand, from precise theoretial calculations based on molecular structures, and on the other hand, from implementation of elaborate experimental methods based on efficient chemical and biochemical techniques. This topic is illustrated by many examples taken from the recent literature which concern redox proteins as well as photosynthestic systems.
