Elementary Analysis of Chemical Electric Field Effects in Biological Macromolecules

II. Kinetic Aspects of Electro-Optic and Conductometric Relaxations

  • Chapter
Modern Bioelectrochemistry

Abstract

Electric field effects in macromolecular organizations such as proteins, nucleic acids, and membranes frequently involve both chemical-conformational changes and physical-orientational displacements of molecular subgroups. Electro-optic techniques in conjunction with relaxation kinetics in high electric fields provide a tool for the investigation of the complex processes encountered in bioelectric phenomena on the level of macromolecules, membrane fragments, and other cellular units. Whereas Part I covers the thermodynamics of electric field effects, this part deals with practical and theoretical aspects of kinetics and mechanisms in aqueous solutions of macromolecules and membranes.
