Redox-active self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) provide an excellent platform for
investigating electron transfer kinetics. Using a well-defined bridge, a redox center can be …

Noncovalent interactions are the main driving force in the folding of proteins into a 3D
functional structure. Motivated by the wish to reveal the mechanisms of the associated self …

Both experimental situations, photoemission and SPM, can be thought of as tunneling
processes with energies above or below the work function of the material, respectively. In …

The field of organic electronics continues to be driven by new charge-transporting materials
that are typically processed from toxic organic solvents incompatible with biological …

Protein structures can facilitate long-range electron transfer in solution. But a fundamental
question remains: can these structures also serve as solid-state electronic conductors …

Charge transfer and charge transport are by far among the most important processes for
sustaining life on Earth and for making our modern ways of living possible. Involving multiple …

Advanced Kelvin probe force microscopy simultaneously detects the quantum capacitance
and surface potential of an α-helical peptide monolayer. These indicators shift when either …

Nucleic acids and proteins are not only biologically important polymers. They have recently
been recognized as novel functional materials surpassing conventional materials in many …

In this paper it is experimentally demonstrated that the electron‐spin/molecular‐handedness
interaction plays a fundamental role in the chiral recognition process. This conclusion is …

Protons and electrons are being exploited in different natural charge transfer processes.
Both types of charge carriers could be, therefore, responsible for charge transport in …
