Harry B. Gray
A bioinorganic chemist who investigates metals and electron movement in biological molecules. His work with collaborators helped explain long-range electron transfer through proteins.
Electron transfer in proteins · explained
research · explained
Proteins can transfer electrons between sites separated in space. Distance, molecular structure and environment affect the transfer rate, helping explain biological energy conversion. Electron transfer is a specific molecular process, not simply current flowing through a miniature metal wire.
