Shewanella oneidensis strain MR-1 can respire using carbon electrodes and metal oxyhydroxides as electron acceptors, requiring mechanisms for transferring electrons from the cell interior to surfaces located beyond the cell. Although purified outer membrane cytochromes will reduce both electrodes and metals, S. oneidensis also secretes flavins, which accelerate electron transfer to metals and e...

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...

poly(styrene-co-butyl acrylate)/clay nanocomposites were synthesized via in situ atom transfer radical polymerization using activators generated by electron transfer in the presence of a montmorillonite ion-exchanged with mixed surfactants of dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and vinyl trimethyl ammonium chloride. the living nature of polymerization is confrmed by occurrence of narrow molecula...
