We review the status of protein-based molecular electronics. First, we define and discuss
fundamental concepts of electron transfer and transport in and across proteins and …

A central vision in molecular electronics is the creation of devices with functional molecular
components that may provide unique properties. Proteins are attractive candidates for this …

Plants and photosynthetic bacteria contain protein− molecular complexes that harvest
photons with nearly optimum quantum yield and an expected power conversion efficiency …

The promise of new architectures and more cost-effective miniaturization has prompted
interest in molecular and biomolecular electronics. Bioelectronics offers valuable near-term …

Plants and some types of bacteria demonstrate an elegant means to capitalize on the
superabundance of solar energy that reaches our planet with their energy conversion …

Photosynthesis begins when a network of pigment–protein complexes captures solar energy
and transports it to the reaction center, where charge separation occurs. When necessary …

Oxygenic photosynthesis is driven via sequential action of Photosystem II (PSII) and (PSI)
reaction centers via the Z-scheme. Both of these pigment–membrane protein complexes are …

Photosynthesis is the process by which Nature coordinates a tandem of protein complexes
of impressive complexity that function to harness staggering amounts of solar energy on a …

The efficient electron transfer between redox enzymes and electrode surfaces can be
obtained by wiring redox enzymes using, for instance, polymer-bound redox relays as has …

Electron transfer (ET) through proteins, a fundamental element of many biochemical
reactions, is studied intensively in aqueous solutions. Over the past decade, attempts were …
