Tunneling in Biological Systems A Colloquium of the Johnson Research Foundation By: Britton Chance Publisher: Academic Press Print ISBN: 9780121678609, 0121678601 eText ISBN: 9781483271347, 148327134X Copyright year: 1979 Format: PDF Available from $ 93.95 USD SKU: 9781483271347 Tunneling in Biological Systems focuses on the low temperature electron transport that reveals a quantum-mechanical effect called “tunneling. This book discusses the tunneling in physical systems; detection of molecular vibrations with electron tunneling; chemical-rate theory of small-polaron hopping; and experimental approaches to electronic coupling in metal ion redox systems. The Faraday rotation and photoconductivity of photosynthetic structures at microwave frequencies; dynamics of electron transport in macromolecules; and electron transfer reactions in cytochrome oxidase are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the kinetic evidence for electron tunneling in solution; specificity and control in biological systems; molecular tunneling in heme proteins; and ligand binding. This publication is valuable to students and researchers interested in the physics of biological and medical problems.
