The search for relay stations. Long-distance electron transfer in peptides.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Electron transfer over long distances in proteins by a hopping process requires transient relay stations that can harbor charge and spin for a short time span. Certain easily oxidizable or reducible side chains may assume that role, but it has been shown that charge transport in peptides can also take place in the absence of such groups which implies that the peptide backbone provides for hoppi...
متن کاملA new interval approach for setting the distance relay zones to achieve perfect selectivity and maximum sensitivity
In this paper, an interval approach is presented to achieve perfect selectivity and maximum sensitivity in distance relay zones, considering uncertainties. For this purpose, first, the uncertainties affecting the settings of the three zones of a distance relay are discussed. Then, by using the Monte-Carlo simulation, the uncertainties are modelled and the impedances seen by the distance relay a...

متن کاملElectron transfer in peptides: the influence of charged amino acids.
Long-range electron transfer (ET) through proteins is a fundamental reaction in living organisms, playing a role in energy-conversion processes like photosynthesis and respiration as well as in enzymatic reactions. The mechanism of these ET processes is still a matter of controversy. Two cases are discussed, a bridge-mediated superexchange (single-step reaction) and a hopping mechanism (stepwis...
متن کاملRelay Selection Scheme for Cooperative Communication Systems in Fixed Decode-and-Forward Mode
Cooperative system is a tendency in the future communications because it provides a spatial diversity to improve the system performance. This work considers the cooperative communication systems in Fixed DF Mode. The scenario includes multiple source stations, multiple relay stations and multiple destination stations. For the whole system, the maximum throughput approaching is the major purpose...
