Theory of Electron Transfer and Related Reactions
Abstract
ABSTRACT: It is planned to formulate an approximate theory of the rates of ultrafast electron transfer reactions, reactions that occur experimentally in ~100 femtoseconds or less. In such short times there is no time available for the system to be fully thermalized, so the standard electron transfer theory needs some modification. It is also planned to extend a theory of single molecule millisecond experiments on rotary biological motors (F1-ATPase) in two respects: (1) so as totreat related millisecond experiments on linear biomolecular motors, such as myosin V and kinesin, and (2) to treat microsecond experiments on rotary biomolecular motors where the dynamics is no longer describable by quasistatic angle-dependent rate constants and demands instead a different approach.
