Fold versus sequence effects on the driving force for protein-mediated electron transfer.

Abstract excerpt

Electron transport chains composed of electron transfer reactions mainly between proteins provide fast efficient flow of energy in a variety of metabolic pathways. Reduction potentials are essential characteristics of the proteins because they determine the driving forces for the electron transfers. As both polar and charged groups from the backbone and side chains define the electrostatic environment, both the...
