*Calculated by treating the hydrogen wave functions as Morse oscillators. The significance of these calculations is the trends in parameters, not their absolute magnitude.

r0 is the initial distance that hydrogen would have to transfer between the donor and acceptor (prior to gating). Ωgating is the frequency of the gating mode.
