Optimal rates for electron transfer in Marcus theory.
We examine electron transfer between two quantum states in the presence of a dissipative environment represented as a set of independent harmonic oscillators. For this simple model, the Marcus transfer rates can be derived from the equations of motion for electronic operators and we show that these rates are associated to an explicit expression for the environment correlation time. We demonstra...
متن کاملElectron transfer in nitrogenase analyzed by Marcus theory: evidence for gating by MgATP.
Nitrogenase-catalyzed substrate reduction reactions require electron transfer between two component proteins, the iron (Fe) protein and the molybdenum-iron (MoFe) protein, in a reaction that is coupled to the hydrolysis of MgATP. In the present work, electron transfer (Marcus) theory has been applied to nitrogenase electron transfer reactions to gain insights into possible roles for MgATP in th...
متن کاملBiological electron-transfer reactions.
A wide range of biological processes makes extensive use of electron-transfer reactions. Rigorous characterization of a biological electron-transfer reaction requires a combination of kinetic, thermodynamic, structural and theoretical methods. The rate of electron transfer from an electron donor to an electron acceptor through a protein is dependent on the difference in reduction potential of t...
متن کاملElectron Transfer in Electrophilic Aromatic Nitration and Nitrosation: Computational Evidence for the Marcus Inverted Region.
Electrophilic aromatic nitrosation and nitration are among the most important electron transfer (ET) reactions. According to the electron transfer theory, an ET process can be described with two electron-localized diabatic states, and the electronic coupling between these two states, together with the organization energy and reaction energy, determine the ET efficiency. A proper definition of t...
متن کاملElectron transfer in bis(hydrazines), a critical test for application of the Marcus model
Electron transfer in the cations of bis(hydrazines), bridged by six different π-systems (compounds 1–6) is studied using ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) methods. Due to ionization from an antibonding combination of the lone-pair orbitals of the nitrogens in one of the hydrazine units, conjugation is introduced in the N—N bond of that unit. This leads to a shortening of the N—N bon...
