Abstract
Recent developments in the dynamics of the elementary electron transfer reactions are reviewed. Attention is mainly focused on discrete state approaches, which combine use of a few experimental data with ab initio calculation of the normal coordinates of vibration of the redox partners. Applications to the early electron transfer in bacterial photosynthetic reaction centers and future perspectives are then discussed.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
