Electron transfer mediated by proteins is a key process in nature.Many of the proteins involved in such electron transfers are complex and may require a number of redox active cofactors. In addition the electron-transfer steps themselves may add to the complexity by being coupled to other processes such as proton transfer and re-organisational changes. This is the case in the cytochromes P450 that function as steroidogenic enzymes. In fact, these enzymes...
