Electron Transfer in Peptides: The Influence of Charged Amino Acids

Abstract

Charging off: The ammonium group in the peptide shown leads to a tenfold increase of the electron-transfer rate compared to that in a fully protected system. This is explained by Coulomb's law and the Marcus theory. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
