Abstract excerpt
The reduction potential (E°') is a critical parameter in determining the efficiency of most biological and chemical reactions. Biology employs three classes of metalloproteins to cover the majority of the 2-V range of physiological E°'s. An ultimate test of our understanding of E°' is to find out the minimal number of proteins and their variants that can cover this entire range and the structural features...
