39. 4), each characterized by correspondingly small coupling strengths to the contacts and large reorganization energy, then the transport is characterized by a hopping mechanism, and significant memory effects can be seen even if only two molecular states are involved in the transport over the spanned bias range. For example, with regard to azurin, the comparison between theory and experiment seems to disfavor the explanation of its transport properties based on a resonance tunneling mechanism: see Corni, S.

43. As in the Marcus model, the same reorganization energy is assumed for the WX and XW transitions (X, W = A, B, C, D). In more general terms, it can be a reduced reorganization energy, as in: Zhu, J.; Wang, J.; Stell, G. J. Chem. Phys. 2006, 125, 164511 and references therein
