title: The search for relay stations. Long-distance electron transfer in peptides.
abstract: Nature uses peptide aggregates as soft materials for electron transfer over long distances. These reactions occur in a multistep hopping reaction with various functional groups as relay stations that are located in the side chain and in the backbone of the peptides.
