  • Distance Dependence of Photoinduced Long-Range Electron Transfer in Zinc/Ruthenium-Modified Myoglobins
    J. Am. Chem. SOC.1988, 110, 435-439 435 Distance Dependence of Photoinduced Long-Range Electron Transfer in Zinc/Ruthenium-Modified Myoglobins Andrew W. Axup, Michael Albin, Stephen L. Mayo, Robert J. Crutchley,' and Harry B. Gray* Contribution No. 7588 from the Arthur Amos Noyes Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91 125. Received May 8, I987 Abstract: An experimental investigation of the distance dependence of long-range electron transfer in zinc/ruthenium-modified myoglobins has been performed. The modified proteins were prepared by substitution of zinc mesoporphyrin IX diacid (ZnP) for the heme in each of four previously characterized pentaammineruthenium(II1) (a5Ru; a = NH,) derivatives of sperm whale myoglobin (Mb): a5Ru(His-48)Mb, aSRu(His-12)Mb, a5Ru(His-l 16)Mb, a5Ru(His-81)Mb. Electron transfer from the ZnP triplet excited state (,ZnP*) to Ru3+, 3ZnP*-Ru3t -+ ZnP+-Ru2+ (AEo - 0.8 V) was measured by time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy: rate constants (kf)are 7.0 X lo4 (His-48), 1.0 X IO2 (His-12), 8.9 X 10' (His-1 16), and 8.5 X IO' (His-81) s-' at 25 OC. Activation enthalpies calculated from the temperature dependences of the electron-transfer rates over the range 5-40 OC are 1.7 i 1.6 (His-48), 4.7 i 0.9 (His-12), 5.4 i 0.4 (His-116), and 5.6 i 2.5 (His-81) kcal mol-'. Electron-transfer distances (d = closest ZnP edge to a5Ru(His) edge; angstroms) were calculated to fall in the following ranges: His-48, 11.8-16.6; His-12, 21.5-22.3; His-116, 19.8-20.4; His-81, 18.8-19.3.

Yet, these ET reactions may involve multiple redox cofactors in van der Waals contact with each other and with vibronic broadenings on the same scale as the energy gaps among the species. In this regime, fluctuations of the molecule and its medium can produce transient energy level matching among multiple electronic states. This transient degeneracy, or flickering electronic resonance among states, is found to support coherent (ballistic) charge transfer. Importantly, ET rates arising from a flickering resonance (FR) mechanism will decay exponentially with distance because the probability of energy matching multiple states is multiplicative.

Meeting Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian Center Gaithersburg, Maryland June 3-5, 2019 Chemical Sciences, Geosciences, and Biosciences Division Office of Basic Energy Sciences Office of Science U.S. Department of Energy FOREWORD The 41st Department of Energy Solar Photochemistry Principal Investigators’ Meeting, sponsored by the Chemical Sciences, Geosciences, and Biosciences Division of the Office of Basic Energy Sciences, is being held June 3-5, 2019 at the Washingtonian Marriott in Gaithersburg, Maryland. These proceedings include the meeting agenda, abstracts of the formal presentations and posters, and a list of participants. The Solar Photochemistry Program supports fundamental, molecular-level research on solar energy capture and conversion in the condensed phase and at interfaces. This conference is the annual meeting of the grantees who conduct research with support from this Program. The gathering is intended to facilitate the exchange of ideas and foster collaboration among these researchers. The meeting this year features an invited presentation by Harry Atwater, Director of the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP). JCAP is the Department of Energy’s Fuels from Sunlight Energy Innovation Hub, a multi-investigator research and development center that was established in 2010 and renewed in 2015. Its mission is currently focused on creating a scientific foundation for the solar-driven conversion of carbon dioxide into renewable transportation fuels. Prof. Atwater will tell us about recent JCAP discoveries and research accomplishments. I would like to express my thanks to Justin Johnson who continues to spend part of his time as a detailee for the Solar Photochemistry Program, assisting with numerous critical behind-the- scenes tasks.

  • Nonadiabatic Control for Quantum Information Processing And
    UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY Nonadiabatic Control for Quantum Information Processing and Biological Electron Transfer by Nathan S. Babcock A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY CALGARY, ALBERTA April, 2015 c Nathan S. Babcock 2015 Abstract In this Thesis, I investigate two disparate topics in the fields of quantum information processing and macromolecular biochemistry, inter-related by the underlying physics of nonadiabatic electronic transitions (i.e., the breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer ap- proximation). The main body of the Thesis is divided into two Parts. In Part I, I describe my proposal for a two-qubit quantum logic gate to be implemented based on qubits stored using the total orbital angular momentum states of ultracold neutral atoms. I carry out numerical analyses to evaluate gate fidelity over a range of gate speeds, and I derive a simple criterion to ensure adiabatic gate operation. I propose a scheme to significantly improve the gate's fidelity without decreasing its speed. I contribute to the development of a \loophole-free" Bell inequality test based on the use of this gate by carrying out an order-of-magnitude feasibility analysis to assess whether the test is viable given realistic technological limitations. In Part II, I investigate electron transfer reaction experiments performed on native and mutant forms of the MADH{amicyanin redox complex derived from P. denitrificans. I implement molecular dynamics simulations of native and mutant forms of the solvated MADH{amicyanin complex. I analyze the resulting nuclear coordinate trajectories, both geometrically and in terms of electronic redox coupling.

Sohn, Chair Professor Amy E. Herr Professor Dorian Liepmann Fall 2014 Node-Pore Sensing: A Robust, High Dynamic Range Method for Multi-Parametric Screening of Biological Samples Copyright 2014 By Karthik Ratna Balakrishnan 1 Abstract Node-Pore Sensing: A Robust, High Dynamic Range Method for Multi-Parametric Screening of Biological Samples by Karthik Ratna Balakrishnan Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering - Mechanical Engineering University of California, Berkeley Professor Lydia L. Sohn, Chair Resistive-pulse sensing is a technique that allows for measurements of particles in a solution. The underlying principle relies on measuring the electrical resistance across a small pore connecting two reservoirs filled with fluid. As an insulating particle enters the pore, the particle displaces the conducting fluid, leading to an increase in the resistance measured. Pulse magnitude and width reveal information about the particle in transit. The size of the pulse magnitude corresponds to the size of the particle, while the width of the pulse represents the length of time the particle takes to transit the pore. We show that resistive pulse sensing can be used in combination with protein functionalization to achieve surface marker screening of small sample sizes. We analyze single satellite cells from muscle fibers of mice.
