Long-Range Electron Transfer in Ruthenium-Modified Proteins

  • Chapter
Trace Elements in Man and Animals 6

Abstract

Long-range-electron transfer (ET) reactions are important mechanistic steps in many biological processes.1 Current research in this area has focused on elucidating the factors that control these ET processes in donor-acceptor (D-A) systems.2–9 A general two-site model consists of a donor (D) and acceptor (A) that are fixed in a rigid structure (e.g., protein matrix) and separated by a through-space distance, d. Donor to acceptor ET pathways through chemical bonds are also possible, but generally are longer than the through-space distance.
