1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW The transfer and transport of electrons through
biological matter is one of the key steps underlying cellular energy harvesting, storage, and …

Through incremental change, Nature reworks and repurposes its functional machinery. In
this way, proteins that photochemically repair DNA by moving protons and electrons have a …

We investigate the polariton-mediated electron transfer reaction in a model system with
analytic rate constant theory and direct quantum dynamical simulations. We demonstrate …

Inspired by the high photoconversion efficiency observed in natural light-harvesting systems,
the hierarchical organization of molecular building blocks has gained impetus in the past …

Quantum mechanics provides the most accurate microscopic description of the world around
us, yet the interface between quantum mechanics and biology is only now being explored …

Coherence refers to correlations in waves. Because matter has a wave-particle nature, it is
unsurprising that coherence has deep connections with the most contemporary issues in …

Electron transfer reactions facilitate energy transduction and photoredox processes in
biology and chemistry. Recent findings show that molecular vibrations can enable the …

Catalysis enables many aspects of modern life, including fuels, products, plastics, and
medicines. Recent advances in catalysis have enabled us to realize higher efficiencies and …

Electron transfer (ET) from donor to acceptor is often mediated by nuclear-electronic
(vibronic) interactions in molecular bridges. Using an ultrafast electronic-vibrational …

Conspectus The image is not the thing. Just as a pipe rendered in an oil painting cannot be
smoked, quantum mechanical coupling pathways rendered on LCDs do not convey …
