Maximum distances required for tunnelling at certain rates for given activation energies (left scale). Corresponding driving force for endergonic electron transfer is shown on the right scale. With an activation energy barrier of 10 kcal mol−1, a distance of less than 7 Å will be required to achieve electron transfer in a millisecond or less.
