Abstract

The article presents a study which examines the evidence for water mediated electron transfer (ET) through bis-amino acid donor-bridge-acceptor oligomers (DBA). It states that water molecules influence electron transport in biomolecules and play a significant role in biologically vital processes in living cells. It explains the importance of water in determining the activation energy for ET reactions.
