PCET 2011: off to a great start!

PCET 2011, the 1st International Conference on Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer, got off to an exciting and dynamic start yesterday.

This conference is the first of its kind; aiming to bring together all the different research areas that are working on proton and and electron transfer. So far it has sparked lively debate, with lectures going on until 11pm on the first evening!

The first two lectures aimed to give an insight into the diverse research areas which study proton-coupled electon transfer. Joanne Stubbe gave the opening lecture on the biological aspects of PCET and its role in enzyme activity. The next talk was by Jean-Michel Saveant, who discussed PCET and electochemistry.

EES are sponsoring PCET 2011 and we were delighted to host the Verre de l’amite last night where the debate and discussion went on late into the night! It’s going to be an exciting week…!
