Kinetics and Energetics of Intramolecular Electron Transfer in Single-Point Labeled TUPS-Cytochrome <i>c</i> Derivatives

Electron transfer within and between proteins is a fundamental biological phenomenon, in which efficiency depends on several physical parameters. We have engineered a number of horse heart cytochrome <i>c</i> single-point mutants with cysteine substitutions at various positions of the pr...
