Abstract
The role of the external electrical field has been found to be important for the proton transfer of a hydrogen bond. The contributions of the classical and tunneling effects were estimated. The relevant backward proton transfer seems to be essential in the process. Biological implications of the effects under examination have been pointed out.
A tribute to Professor P.O. Löwdin’s 60 years birthday.
