Resumen:
Proteins integrated or transiently bound to membranes are subject to
strong electric fields. However, the role of these fields on tuning the
reactivity of redox proteins is still an open issue. High electric
fields are also present in protein-based electrochemical devices. In
this work we report DFT calculations of the electric field effects on
ligand binding and on the redox potentials of porphyrin models
representing the active sites of typical heme proteins such as
cytochrome c, cytochrome c oxidase, cytochrome c peroxidase and
cytochrome P450.
