13. 2 was obtained by air oxidation at pH 8.8. Formation of the dimer was confirmed by gel filtration (see Supporting Information) and MALDI-TOF MS.
14. + fragment is cleaved (presumably during the laser ionization process). Together with spectroscopic evidence, this shows that Ru is bound, as designed, to the His21 pairs and not His42.
15. 2 in a 1 × 1 cm cuvette was degassed by a series of freeze-pump-thaw cycles.

17. The 532 nm, 10 ns, 100 mJ output of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser was used for excitation. The probe light (Xe-flashlamp) was passed through a monochromator and detected with a PMT. The kinetics was monitored at 428 nm and averaged over 256 shots. The protein (50 μM aRC) was thoroughly degassed by a series of freeze-pump-thaw cycles.
18. Fom the measured redox potentials and the excited energy of bound-Ru (2. 1 eV), the driving forces for the forward and back ET, are -0.8 and -1.3 eV, respectively. It is therefore predicted that the forward reaction is nearly activationless, while the back reaction is in the Marcus inverted region. Farid, R. S.; Moser, C. C.; Dutton, P. L. Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol. 1993, 3, 225-233.
19. III by reduced cyt c is -0.055 eV, and that of oxidation of heme by naphthoquinone-2-sulfonate is -0.95 eV. Given the CSS lifetime of 70 ns, even at 20 μM of cyt c and the quinone, the interception efficiency of the CSS, assuming a diffusion-controlled rate, would be in the range of ∼1%.
