Abstract
Hydrogen bonds are believed to play an important role in the mediation of electron transfer processes in proteins. A porphyrin/depsipeptide/p-benzoquinone molecule has been synthesized to help understand this role of hydrogen bond mediated electron transfer in proteins. The synthesis, room temperature folding conformation, and steady-state electron transfer are described.
