Comparative structure-potentio-spectroscopy of the Shewanella outer membrane multiheme cytochromes [PDF]
Many species of bacteria can generate energy in the anoxic subsurface by directly coupling intracellular oxidative reactions to the reduction of extracellular metal oxides. Coupling these processes requires electron transfer networks that extend from the

Photosensitised Multiheme Cytochromes as Light‐Driven Molecular Wires and Resistors [PDF]
Multiheme cytochromes possess closely packed redox‐active hemes arranged as chains spanning the tertiary structure. Here we describe five variants of a representative multiheme cytochrome engineered as biohybrid phototransducers for converting light into

Increased mutation rates and diversity are dominant features of Geobacter multiheme cytochromes
Multiheme cytochromes (MHCs) are the central catalysts of extracellular electron transfer and are uniquely abundant in the genomes of model Fe(III)-reducing organisms like Geobacter sulfurreducens.

Mimicking Natural Photosynthesis: Designing Ultrafast Photosensitized Electron Transfer into Multiheme Cytochrome Protein Nanowires [PDF]
Efficient nanomaterials for artificial photosynthesis require fast and robust unidirectional electron transfer (ET) from photosensitizers through charge-separation and accumulation units to redox-active catalytic sites.

Ultrafast Light-Driven Electron Transfer in a Ru(II)tris(bipyridine)-Labelled Multiheme Cytochrome [PDF]
Multiheme cytochromes attract much attention for their electron transport properties. These proteins conduct electrons across bacterial cell walls, along extracellular filaments, and when purified can serve as bionanoelectronic junctions.

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) enables certain microorganisms to respire using soluble and insoluble extracellular electron acceptors by transporting electrons across the cell envelope. Among these, G. sulfurreducens serves as a model organism for

Abstract Nature has evolved diverse electron transport proteins and multiprotein assemblies essential to the generation and transduction of biological energy. However, substantially modifying or adapting these proteins for user‐defined applications or to gain fundamental mechanistic insight can be hindered by their inherent complexity.

Tunneling-to-Hopping Transition in Multiheme Cytochrome Bioelectronic Junctions
Multiheme cytochromes (MHCs) have attracted much interest for use in nanobioelectronic junctions due to their high electronic conductances. Recent measurements on dry MHC junctions suggested that a coherent tunneling mechanism is operative over surprisingly long long distances (>3 nm), which challenges our understanding of coherent transport phenomena.

Role of multiheme cytochromes involved in extracellular anaerobic respiration in bacteria [PDF]
AbstractHeme containing proteins are involved in a broad range of cellular functions, from oxygen sensing and transport to catalyzing oxidoreductive reactions. The two major types of cytochrome (b‐type and c‐type) only differ in their mechanism of heme attachment, but this has major implications for their cellular roles in both localization and ...
