A review. Biol. systems often transport charges and reactive processes over substantial distances. Traditional models of chem. kinetics generally do not describe such extreme distal processes. In this Review, an atomistic model for a distal transport of information, which was specifically developed for peptides, is considered. Chem. reactivity is taken as the result of distal effects based on two-step bifunctional model suggests highly efficient transport of charge and reactivity in an isolated peptide over a substantial distance; conversely, a very low efficiency in a water environment was found. The model suggests ultrafast transport of charge and reactivity over substantial distances in a peptide environment. Many such domains can be active in a protein. [on SciFinder(R)]     «
