Title: Measurements of Redox Potentials of Proteins
Coordinator(s): F.M.
Hawkridge and G.S.
Wilson
Remarks: Joint project with Commissions I.2
and I.7
Completion Date: 2001 - project terminated
Objective:
The measurement of redox potentials of proteins is one of the most
important and fundamental biophysical measurements necessary to understanding
of bioenergetics. Many, if not most of the persons making these measurements
are not electrochemists and are not therefore conversant in the fundamental
and experimental aspects of redox potential determination. In addition,
the interpretation of results is similarly important. In the preparation
of this report, it will be necessary to draw on the expertise of individuals
in the areas of electrochemistry, biochemistry, solution chemistry
and thermodynamics to present an integrated and consistent picture.
Such a document will be designed for the non-electrochemist, thus
fostering better communication and understanding within the field
of chemistry of which biochemistry is certainly a part. Thus encouraging
and promoting communication through this report is an appropriate
activity for IUPAC.
Progress:
The project is in draft form, and, following the GA Meeting in Berlin
should be sent out for review as a technical report.
