The kinetics of electron transfer from the triplet-excited Zn-porphyrin to a Ru(NH(3))(5)(His-33)(3+) complex have been measured in Zn-substituted ruthenium-modified cytochrome c under denaturing conditions. In the folded protein, the electron-tunneling rate constant is 7.5 x 10(5) s(-1). As the protein is denatured with guanidine hydrochloride, a faster adiabatic electron-transfer reaction appears (4.0 x 10(6) s(-1), [guanidine hydrochloride] = 5.4 M) that is limited by the rate of intrachain diffusion to bring the Zn-porphyrin and Ru complex into contact. The 250-ns contact time for formation of a 15-residue loop in denatured cytochrome c is in accord with a statistical model developed by Camacho and Thirumalai [Camacho, C. J. &amp; Thirumalai, D. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92, 1277-1281] that predicts that the most probable transient loops formed in denatured proteins are comprised of 10 amino acids. Extrapolation of the cytochrome c contact time to a 10-residue loop sets the folding speed limit at approximately 10(7) s(-1).
