Photoinduced electron transfer proceeded between zinc protoporphyrin reconstituted myoglobin and methylviologen. The reduced methylviologen formed by electron-transfer quenching was observed by means of laser flash photolysis. The quenching rate constants were affected by the change in the surface charges of myoglobin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
