Title:

Water Structure-Dependent Charge Transport in Proteins

Creator:

Gascoyne, Peter R. C.
Pethig, Ronald
Szent-Gyorgyi, Albert, 1893-1986

Date:

January 1981

Description:

Szent-Gyorgyi's theory of cancer was based on his idea that the electron transport (charge transfer) essential to biological energy processes occurred via the structural proteins in cells. This study aimed to increase understanding of the electrical properties of pure proteins such as albumin, in the hydrated, rather than dry state.
