✦ Synopsis

Polaron models have been considered for the electron states in protein globules existing in a solvent. These models account for two fundamental effects, viz, polarization interaction of an electron with the conformational vibrations and the heterogeneity of the medium. Equations have been derived to determine the electron state in a protein globule. The parameters of this state show that it is an extended state with an energy of (2 \mathrm{eV}). The electron transfer rate for cyt (\mathrm{C}) self-exchange reaction has been calculated in the polaron model. Reorganization energy, tunneling matrix element and the rate constant have also been estimated. The results are compared with experimental data. The influence of model parameters on the significance of the data obtained has been studied. The potentialities of the model are discussed.

Electron and ion transfer reactions on metal electrodes are considered in an extended Anderson model, in which the interactions of the reactant with the metal and with the solvent depend on the separation from the interface. The model allows the construction of effective potential energy surfaces. E
