Redox reactions play important roles in almost all biological processes, including
photosynthesis and respiration, which are two essential energy processes that sustain all life …

Cytochrome c (cyt c) is a small soluble heme protein characterized by a relatively flexible
structure, particularly in the ferric form, such that it is able to sample a broad conformational …

Tetrapyrrole-containing proteins are one of the most fundamental classes of enzymes in
nature and it remains an open question to give a chemical rationale for the multitude of …

Redox potentials are a major contributor in controlling the electron transfer (ET) rates and
thus regulating the ET processes in the bioenergetics. To maximize the efficiency of the ET …

Abstract Cytochrome-c (cyt-c), a multi-functional protein, plays a significant role in the
electron transport chain, and thus is indispensable in the energy-production process …

Conspectus Hemes are ubiquitous in biology and carry out a wide range of functions. The
heme group is largely invariant across proteins with different functions, although there are a …

Upregulation of CAD, the multifunctional protein that initiates and controls the de novo
biosynthesis of pyrimidines in animals, is essential for cell proliferation. Deciphering the …

Splitting the reduction potential of electron transport (ET) proteins and redox
metalloenzymes into the enthalpic and entropic contributions is an insightful practice to …

Development of new synthetic catalysts for CO2 reduction has been a central focus of
chemical research efforts towards mitigating rising global carbon dioxide levels. In parallel …

The derivatization of the imino-functionalized tris (pyrrolylmethyl) amine ligand framework, N
(XpiR) 3 (XLR; X= H, Br; R= cyclohexyl (Cy), phenyl (Ph), 2, 6-diisopropylphenyl (DIPP)), is …
