Electron transfer rates for asymmetric reactions
We use a numerically exact real-time path integral Monte Carlo scheme to compute electron transfer dynamics between two redox sites within a spin-boson approach. The case of asymmetric reactions is studied in detail in the least understood crossover region between nonadiabatic and adiabatic electron transfer. At intermediate-to-high temperature, we find good agreement with standard Marcus theor...
متن کاملDistance dependence of through-bond electron transfer rates in electron-capture and electron-transfer dissociation
Ab initio electronic structure calculations on model cations containing a disulfide linkage and a protonated amine site are carried out to examine ow the rate of electron transfer from a Rydberg orbital on the amine site to the S S * orbital depends upon the distance between these two rbitals. These simulations are relevant to both electron-capture and electron-transfer dissociation mass spectr...
متن کاملPhotochemistry between a ruthenium(II) pyridylimidazole complex and benzoquinone: simple electron transfer versus proton-coupled electron transfer.
A ruthenium(II) complex with two 4,4'-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2,2'-bipyridine chelates and a 2-(2'-pyridyl)imidazole ligand was synthesized and characterized by electrochemical and optical spectroscopic means. The respective complex has the potential to act as a combined electron-proton donor when promoted to its long-lived (3)MLCT excited state with visible light. The possibility of proton-couple...
متن کاملUnusual distance dependences of electron transfer rates.
Usually the rates for electron transfer (kET) decrease with increasing donor-acceptor distance, but Marcus theory predicts a regime in which kET is expected to increase when the transfer distance gets longer. Until recently, experimental evidence for such counter-intuitive behavior had been very limited, and consequently this effect is much less well-known than the Gaussian free energy dependen...
متن کاملFlavin Charge Transfer Transitions Assist DNA Photolyase Electron Transfer.
This contribution describes molecular dynamics, semi-empirical and ab-initio studies of the primary photo-induced electron transfer reaction in DNA photolyase. DNA photolyases are FADH(-)-containing proteins that repair UV-damaged DNA by photo-induced electron transfer. A DNA photolyase recognizes and binds to cyclobutatne pyrimidine dimer lesions of DNA. The protein repairs a bound lesion by t...
