The electron's spin is essential to the stability of matter, and control over the spin opens up
avenues for manipulating the properties of molecules and materials. The Pauli exclusion …

The recently discovered chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect gives rise to a spin
selective electron transmission through biomolecules. Here we review the mechanism …

We show that in an electrochemical cell, in which the photoanode is coated with chiral
molecules, the overpotential required for hydrogen production drops remarkably, as …

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) represent highly ordered molecular materials with
versatile biochemical features and multidisciplinary applications. Research on SAMs has …

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 …

Proteins and peptides use their amino acids as medium for electron-transfer reactions that
occur either in single-step superexchange or in multistep hopping processes. Whereas the …

Take the stepping stones: Electrons are exchanged between both termini of α‐helical
peptide self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold by a hopping mechanism with the …

It is shown that “spontaneous magnetization” occurs when chiral oligopeptides are attached
to ferrocene and are self‐assembled on a gold substrate. As a result, the electron transfer …

Redox polymer nanobeads of branched polyethylenimine binding with ferrocene (BPEI-Fc)
were synthesized using a simple chemical process. The functionality and morphology of the …

Electron transfer (ET) across proteins is one of the fundamental processes in nature. While
trying to decipher and understand natural ET, much scientific effort has been employed in …
