Biological electron-exchange reactions are fundamental to life on earth. Redox reactions underpin respiration, photosynthesis, molecular biosynthesis, cell signalling and protein folding. Chemical, biomedical and future energy technology developments are also inspired by these natural electron transfer processes. Further developments in techniques and data analysis are required to gain a deeper understanding of the redox biochemistry processes that power Nature. This review outlines the new insights gained from developing Fourier transformed ac voltammetry as a tool for protein film electrochemistry.
生物电子交换反应是地球上生命的基础。氧化还原反应支撑着呼吸作用、光合作用、分子生物合成、细胞信号传导和蛋白质折叠。化学、生物医学以及未来能源技术的发展也受到这些自然电子转移过程的启发。为了更深入地理解驱动自然界的氧化还原生物化学过程,需要在技术和数据分析方面取得进一步进展。本综述概述了将傅里叶变换交流伏安法发展成为蛋白质膜电化学工具所获得的新见解。
