Electron tunneling pathways in proteins.
Long-range electronic interactions between electron donors and acceptors in proteins depend on the structure of the intervening polypeptide. Several methods have been developed for calculating these weak couplings. New challenges in protein electron-transfer research include identifying the role of protein dynamics, and characterizing multistep tunneling over very long distances.
