Quantum Transition State Theory for proton transfer reactions in enzymes
Jacques P. Bothma, Joel Gilmore, Ross H. McKenzie
We consider the role of quantum effects in the transfer of hyrogen-like species in enzyme-catalysed reactions. This study is stimulated by claims that the observed magnitude and te…
Quantum dynamics of electronic excitations in biomolecular chromophores: role of the protein environment and solvent
Joel Gilmore, Ross H. McKenzie
We consider continuum dielectric models as minimal models to understand the effect of a surrounding globular protein and solvent on the quantum dynamics of electronic excitations i…
Quantitative scattering of melanin solutions
Jennifer Riesz, Joel Gilmore, Paul Meredith
The optical scattering coefficient of a dilute, well solubilised eumelanin solution has been accurately measured as a function of incident wavelength, and found to contribute less…
A Quantum Yield Map for Synthetic Eumelanin
Stephen Nighswander-Rempel, Jennifer Riesz, Joel Gilmore +1
The quantum yield of synthetic eumelanin is known to be extremely low and it has recently been reported to be dependent on excitation wavelength. In this paper, we present quantum…
Quantitative Fluorescence Excitation Spectra for Synthetic Eumelanin
Stephen Nighswander-Rempel, Jennifer Riesz, Joel Gilmore +2
Previously reported excitation spectra for eumelanin are sparse and inconsistent. Moreover, these studies have failed to account for probe beam attenuation and emission reabsorptio…
Criteria for quantum coherent transfer of excitons between chromophores in a polar solvent
Joel Gilmore, Ross H. McKenzie
We show that the quantum decoherence of Forster resonant energy transfer between two optically active molecules can be described by a spin-boson model. This allows us to give quant…
