Electron transfer in peptides and proteins.
Electron transfer (ET) processes in proteins drive the energy conversion processes in cells and are also involved in metabolic catalysis. In this tutorial review, the models explaining ET through peptides and proteins are discussed and the biological relevance of ET is elucidated.
