Polarizability of the active site of cytochrome c reduces the activation barrier for electron transfer

Enzymes in biology’s energy chains operate with low energy input distributed through multiple electron transfer steps between protein active sites. The general challenge of biological design is how to lower the activation barrier without sacrificing a large negative reaction free energy. We show tha...
