Abstract: | A model for the through-bond electronic interaction between electron donor and acceptor in proteins is developed. We use a one-electron Hamiltonian, write the Dyson's equation in site representation and solve it by using a Green's function formalism with some renormalization ideas. An expression for Tab which describes the exponential decay with distance bond per bond is obtained. Covalent, non-covalent and convergent pathways are considered and no periodic approximation is needed. |
