      Persistence of structure over fluctuations in biological electron-transfer reactions 

      Balabin, I. A.; Beratan, David N.; Skourtis, Spiros S. (2008)
      In the soft-wet environment of biomolecular electron transfer, it is possible that structural fluctuations could wash out medium-specific electronic effects on electron tunneling rates. We show that beyond a transition ...

      Protein dynamics and electron transfer: Electronic decoherence and non-Condon effects 

      Skourtis, Spiros S.; Balabin, I. A.; Kawatsu, T.; Beratan, David N. (2005)
      We compute the autocorrelation function of the donor-acceptor tunneling matrix element 〈TDA(t)TDA(0)〉 for six Ru-azurin derivatives. Comparison of this decay time to the decay time of the time-dependent Franck-Condon factor ...

      Steering electrons on moving pathways. 

      Beratan, David N.; Skourtis, Spiros S.; Balabin, I. A.; Balaeff, A.; Keinan, S.; Venkatramani, R.; Xiao, D. (2009)
      Electron transfer (ET) reactions provide a nexus among chemistry, biochemistry, and physics. These reactions underpin the "power plants" and "power grids" of bioenergetics, and they challenge us to understand how evolution ...
