Electron Transfer in Biology and the Solid State

This new volume brings together in one volume the latest information by leading scientists who are studying mechanisms of electron transfer between metal centers in proteins and other biologically significant molecules with information from those who are studying analogous processes in solids. Semiconductor and tunneling models, which have a long history in the description of conducting properties of solids, are increasingly being used to explain many aspects of long-range biological electron transfer. With 13 chapters, this volume bridges the gap between two diverse scientific communities and provides fresh insight into electron transfer between metal centers.
