PCCP themed issue: Electron Transfer Theory

PCCP themed issue: Electron Transfer Theory
Guest Editors: David N. Beratan (Duke University) and José Onuchic (UCSD)

Deadline for Submissions: 13 April 2012

PCCP is delighted to announce the high-profile themed issue ‘Electron Transfer Theory’. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit to this themed issue.

The themed issue will be published in PCCP in 2012 and will be displayed at relevant international conferences to maximise the visibility of the work published.

It has been 20 years since Marcus’ Nobel Prize for electron transfer theory. Indeed, the last 35 years have witnessed landmark contributions to molecular bioenergetics, and to understanding the flow of electrons and ions that lie at the heart of molecular biophysics and nanoscience. Nobel Prizes for the structure of ATP synthase (1997) and the bacterial photosynthetic reaction center (1988), for the chemiosmotic hypothesis (1978), and for the scanning tunneling microscope (1986) are milestones of great significance.

In addition to the landmark achievements above, the period of time since Marcus’ prize has witnessed tremendous growth in both theoretical and experimental activity aimed at frontier challenges in molecular biophysics, nanoscience, and energy science.  We propose to assemble a themed issue of PCCP rooted in the foundations established by Marcus and others cited above, while turning to current activity on the frontiers. 

Submit in any reasonable format using our online submissions service

Communications and full papers of high quality original, unpublished research will be considered

All submissions are subject to rigorous peer review 

Please indicate upon submission it is intended for this themed issue
