Proton transfer in water underpins a vast array of chemical, biological and technological processes, from enzyme catalysis and cellular bioenergetics to electrochemical energy conversion and ...

For the first time, researchers have measured the speed at which protons move through charged water molecules, shedding light on one of the most fundamental chemical reactions. Researchers at Yale ...

New Haven, Conn. — The movement of protons through electrically charged water is one of the most fundamental processes in chemistry. It is evident in everything from eyesight to energy storage to ...

When high-energy radiation interacts with water in living organisms, it generates particles and slow-moving electrons that can subsequently damage critical molecules like DNA. Now, Professor Petr ...

Protons are the basis of bioenergetics. We know them, in our everyday life, from the pH values we see on various soaps and lotions. But the ability to move them through biological systems is essential ...

Chemists reveal method for differentiating PCET mechanisms -- a key step for steering fundamental energy conversion and redox catalysis processes. Redox reactions form the basis of many fundamental ...
