A newly identified mechanism reveals how proton motion can subtly yet powerfully influence triplet energy transfer in ...

Proton transfer dynamics in nucleic acids underpin several fundamental aspects of genetic stability and variation. This process involves the movement of protons along hydrogen bonds connecting ...

Recently, the team led by Academician Wei-Hong Zhu at East China University of Science and Technology proposed a novel photo-rearrangement reaction of diarylethenes induced by intramolecular proton ...

The photoreaction cycle of the blue-light receptor protein BLUF domains involves forward and reverse proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions, yet a unified cross-species mechanism is lacking ...

Whether in our bodies or in fuel cells, phosphoric acid plays an important role in many chemical processes because it is exceptionally good at transporting charges. Researchers from the Department of ...

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions play a vital role in a wide range of chemical and biological processes. Recent advances in the theory of PCET will be presented. The quantum ...
