Microbial protein nanowires are emerging as an alternative to abiotic nanowires for
electronics applications. Microbial nanowires are sustainably produced, robust, non-toxic …

Electrons can tunnel between cofactor molecules positioned along biological electron
transport chains up to a distance of≃ 20 Å on the millisecond time scale of enzymatic …

Structural determinants of a 103-fold variation in electrical conductivity for helical
homopolymers of tetra-, hexa-, and octa-heme cytochromes (named Omc-E, S, and Z …

Single-molecule measurements show that many proteins, lacking any redox cofactors,
nonetheless exhibit electrical conductance on the order of a nanosiemen over 10 nm …

Geobacter sulfurreducens profoundly shapes Earth's biogeochemistry by discharging
respiratory electrons to minerals and other microbes through filaments of a two-decades …

Nature has evolved diverse electron transport proteins and multiprotein assemblies
essential to the generation and transduction of biological energy. However, substantially …

Traditional theories of long-range protein electron transfer describe the reaction rate in terms
of the tunneling distance and the reaction free energy. They do not recognize two physical …

This computational study addresses the question of how large membrane-bound proteins of
electron transport chains facilitate fast vector-based charge transport. We study electron …

Experimental, theoretical and computational chemical kinetics contribute to progress both in
molecular and materials sciences and in biochemistry, exploring the gap between …

The ability to redirect electron transport to new reactions in living systems opens possibilities
to store energy, generate new products, or probe physiological processes. Recent work by …
