Characterization of the Electronic and Molecular Structures of Transition Metal Semiquinone and Catecholate Complexes
Quinones interact with transition metal ions in biological electron transfer processes such as photosynthesis and the respiratory electron transport chain. Two types of quinones exist, paraquinones and orthoquinones, however, only transition metal-orthoquinone complexes were studied. Orthoquinones …

Electron transfer and protein engineering studies of the soluble methane monooxygenase from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath)
Chapter 1. Introduction: Electron Transfer in Biological Systems In many biological processes, including oxidative phosphorylation and photosynthesis, electron transfer reactions play vital roles. Electrons must be transported at catalytically relevant rates and with specificity to prevent …

Studying Ultrafast Vibrational dynamics of Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonds using Broadband Infrared Pump-Probe Spectroscopy.
… hydrogen bonds play an important role also in biological electron transfer across long distances. The vibrational dynamics of intramolecular hydrogen bonds pose experimental and theoretical challenges due to anharmonic couplings between the high frequency hydrogen bond stretching (νOH) mode and …

A biosynthetic approach to understanding the assembly of CuA centers
Electron transfer plays a critical role in countless biological processes. Metalloproteins containing copper or iron carry out electron transfer throughout all domains of life. CuA is a unique dinuclear, mixed-valence and valence delocalized copper center, which catalyzes remarkably efficient …
