This feature article addresses several novel aspects regarding the peptide-mediated charge migrations, including: i) radical exchanges with tunable radical types (σ-radical versus π-radical) and electron-transfer (ET)-channel-tunable cooperative proton-coupled ET (PCET) mechanism, including hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT), single ET-channel PCET, double ET channel PCET, and channel-type-tunable (σ-channel versus π-channel) PCET; ii) hole hopping migration between the active groups in the side-chains and its controllability; iii) hole hopping through stepping-stones via a solvated “hole” form; and iv) electron hopping through positively charged groups as stepping-stones via a solvated electron state. In particular, the controllability of the ET channels (pathways and types) and solvated-“hole”/“electron”-based relay mechanisms are mainly mentioned. Clearly, this is an important addition to the well-documented mechanisms for charge migration in proteins. In view of the complexity of protein charge migration, further exploration on details of the stepping-stone-based relay mechanisms, by considering the properties and structures of the redox active centers, their intercalators, and the real surroundings, is still needed. |
