Resonance effects in strongly exothermic long-range electron transfer and their possible implications for the behaviour of site-directed mutant proteins.

Abstract excerpt

Long-range electron transfer investigations of hemoproteins, blue copper and iron-sulphur proteins frequently rest on electronically excited metal centres. When the excitation energy approaches the oxidation or reduction potentials of intermediate residues the superexchange view normally used, however, fails and a variety of new dynamic features arise. These all involve population of the intermediate cation or...
