Wide-dynamic-range kinetic investigations of deep proton tunnelling in proteins
2016
A temperature-dependent kinetic study of ground-state proton transfer in the green fluorescent protein highlights the role of ‘deep tunnelling’ in proton wires. A potential mechanism for directional proton transport is proposed, where high-pKa amino acid residues act as ‘tunnel diodes’ and as stabilizing elements within protein water wires.
