Free energies for biological electron transfer from QM/MM calculation: method, application and critical assessment
Literature Information
Jochen Blumberger
Computer simulations of biological electron transfer reactions are reviewed with a focus on the calculation of reaction free energy (driving force) and reorganization free energy. Then a mixed quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) approach is described which is designed for computation of these quantities for pure electron transfer reactions with large donor–acceptor separation distances. The method is applied to intra-protein electron transfer in Ru(bpy)2(im)His33 cytochrome c and the results compared to experimental data. Several modeling aspects which are important for successful calculation of free energies with QM/MM are discussed in detail.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
