title: Electron transfer in biology.
abstract: Table VII presents a list of the topics I have discussed. Underlying biological electron transfer which employs metal ions overwhelmingly is the intimacy of the interaction between metal ion properties and protein properties. Attacking the problems is attacking a cornerstone of life - bioenergetics. It is appropriate that this is the Heyrovsky Memorial Lecture since he devised the polarograph which is a device for coupling electrolytes (protons) in solution with electrons in metal atoms.
