    • -1). This is expected because of the small perturbation introduced by the metal ions. However, it should be mentioned that if the orbital energies of donor and acceptor are in the proximity of the peptide π- and π*-orbitals, β-values will change. Such systems are not the subject of this work. Effect of specific hydration on β-values was carried out using the method described in ref 58 where specific water molecules around metal ions were introduced. The results here again show no significant change on the β-values. More extensive calculations involving solvents as a continuum are underway and may lead to a further refinement of these conclusions.

    • The driving force for the reaction is reported to be ∼0.4 V, and the reorganization energy is also reported as ∼1.2 V (using the two-sphere model). Thus, these reactions occur in the normal Marcus regime. For our calculations, the reorganization energy was not needed. We estimated the perturbation of molecular orbital energy at the D and A sites (ΔΔE) due to the point dipole generated by C=O groups. For the six-peptide bridge in the α-helical structure comparable to the compound used in Galoppini's experiment, ΔΔE was 24.4 kK in a vacuum or 0.082 V in acetonitrile. From this value, the ratio for the electron transfer in the direction of the molecular dipole vs that against the molecular dipole can be calculated using the equation k(f)/k(r) = exp(-ΔΔE/2RT). Note that if the reaction is activationless, directional dependence will be very small and hard to detect
