Electron transfer coupling matrix element between cytochrome c and graphene oxide

doi:10.7523/j.issn.2095-6134.2017.01.007

Abstract

Abstract:

There is a high probability that cytochrome c interacts with the oxidized graphene via electron transfer reactions. We notice that the electron transfer coupling matrix element reveals the electronic interactions between two molecules. With this idea in mind, we applied the pathway tunneling model method to calculate the electron transfer coupling matrix element in the eight cytochrome c-graphene oxide systems with different conformations. Results indicate that the electron transfer coupling matrix element for system P8 is the greatest and the electronic interaction between cytochrome c and graphene oxide is the strongest.

Key words: cytochrome c, graphene oxide, electron transfer coupling matrix element
