Charge pair model of bioenergetics: redox enzymes.

G Kemeny, S D Mahanti
PMCID: PMC430580  PMID: 1065892

Abstract

A model of electron transfer between redox enzymes is constructed on the assumption that the apoenzyme contains orientable units, which are tentatively identified with flipping amino acids. The model is based on the entatic state hypothesis, and the rate of electron transfer is derived.
