2. 1. Mechanistic Studies on Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer from Tyrosine and Tryptophan Derivatives

   Author : Astrid Nilsen-Moe; Leif Hammarström; Pia Ädelroth; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer; PCET; Tyrosine; Tryptophan; Amino Acid Radicals; Transient Absorption; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from tyrosine (Y) and tryptophan (W) is vital to many redox reactions in Nature where PCET between several Ys, or Ws, or between a mix of Ys and Ws can be used to transfer electrons, or protons, or both over large distances of several Å. Studying the PCET reaction mechanisms of Y and W is important for fundamental knowledge, and can help researchers that wish to mimic redox reactions in Nature. READ MORE

4. 2. Deciphering the Mechanistic Diversity of Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer Reactions

   Author : Robin Tyburski; Leif Hammarström; Thomas Moore; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PCET; Proton Coupled Electron Transfer;

   Abstract : Proton coupled electron transfer is ubiquitous in biological and artificial reaction systems. Much has been done in order to describe the occurrence of such reactions. However, PCET reactivity is often very complex. For instance, there are multiple (stepwise and concerted) mechanistic pathways through which PCET may occur. READ MORE

5. 3. Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer from Hydrogen-Bonded Phenols

   Author : Tania Irebo; Leif Hammarström; James M. Mayer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Proton-coupled electron transfer; phenol oxidation; hydrogen bonds; artificial photosynthesis; promoting vibrations; proton transfer; laser flash-quench; transient absorption.; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

   Abstract : Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is one of the elementary reactions occurring in many chemical and biological systems, such as photosystem II where the oxidation of tyrosine (TyrZ) is coupled to deprotonation of the phenolic proton. This reaction is here modelled by the oxidation of a phenol covalently linked to a Ru(bpy)32+-moitey, which is photo-oxidized by a laser flash-quench method. READ MORE

6. 4. Electrochemical reduction of protons and organic molecules in hydrogen technologies : Liquid Organic Hydrogen carrier and Hydrogen Evolution

   Author : Hamid Ghorbani Shiraz; Magnus Berggren; Xavier Crispin; Ola Wendt; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrogen Storage; LOHC; Hydrogen Evolution; Electrocatalyst;

   Abstract : In accordance with preventable actions to mitigate the effect of climate change in the modern societal applications, renewable energy is an unavoidable and decisive factor in the energy industry. The energy sources that offer non-depleted and environment-friendly pathways for the energy sector are in focus. READ MORE

7. 5. Studies of the two redox active tyrosines in Photosystem II

   Author : Nigar Ahmadova; Fikret Mamedov; Stenbjörn Styring; Robert Burnap; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Photosystem II; Tyrosine Z and D; proton-coupled electron transfer;

   Abstract : Photosystem II is a unique enzyme which catalyzes light induced water oxidation. This process is driven by highly oxidizing ensemble of four Chl molecules, PD1, PD2, ChlD1 and ChlD2 called, P680. Excitation of one of the Chls in P680 leads to the primary charge separation, P680+Pheo-. READ MORE
