"Proton holes" in long-range proton transfer reactions in solution and enzymes: A theoretical analysis.

Abstract excerpt

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, alternative...
