In the mid 1980s Averin and Likharev predicted that with the use of ultrasmall tunnel junctions a time correlation of electron flow through a junction could be observed, and permit the measurement of the effect of a net charge of less than one electron on the junction. Both effects were soon experimentally verified, and since that time there has been an explosion of work in the filed of single electron devices. This chapter reviews the fundamental concepts behind the operation of such devices. it then describes some of the single electron effects studied in semiconductors. Superconducting devices are then constrasted to the semiconductor and the normal metal single electron devices. The details of some current applications are described, and a thumbnail sketch of current fabrication methods is given.

Acetaldehyde was shown to be an irreversible inhibitor of nitrogenase, hydrogenase, CO2 fixation and growth in the cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica, but had no effect on photosynthetic electron flow as measured by Methyl Viologen-dependent O2 uptake. The concentration-dependence of the inhibition of nitrogenase and hydrogenase activities was determined, and it was shown that acetaldehyde inhibition poses problems for anaerobic experiments in which the activities of these enzymes are measured in the presence of the frequently used glucose/glucose oxidase/catalase/ethanol O2 trap. It is suggested that acetaldehyde may find use as an inhibitor in experiments designed to separate electron flow through the photosystems from consequent fixation of CO2 and N2.

The effects of SO2 exposure, carried out in controlled-environment cuvettes, on the photosynthetic performance of the liverwort Frullania dilatata (L.) Dum. were investigated by means of chorophyll a fluorescence induction kinetics and gas-exchange measurements. Additionally, visible-injury symptoms developing in leaves as a result of exposure to the pollutant were quantified and described. The adverse effects of SO2 on photosynthesis could be seen as (i) a decreased electron flow through photosystem II (PSII), (ii) an increased degree of closure of PSII centres, (iii) a lowered capacity for dissipative processes, and (iv) reduced net CO2 assimilation rates. Additionally, SO2 induced severe cell injury that ranged from cells without oil bodies to cells with collapsed plasma membrane and disorganized organelles. The distribution pattern of injuries in the shoots ofF. dilatata suggests that SO2-induced damage is related to the degree of direct exposure to the pollutant. It is possible that, because this liverwort grows in dense patches with overlapping branches, some protection is conferred to basal leaves.Key words: Frullania dilatata, chlorophyll fluorescence, sulphur dioxide, fumigation, cellular injury.

AbstractBiological electron transfers often occur between metal-containing cofactors that are separated by very large molecular distances. Employing photosensitizer-modified iron and copper proteins, we have shown that single-step electron tunneling can occur on nanosecond to microsecond timescales at distances between 15 and 20 Å. We also have shown that charge transport can occur over even longer distances by hole hopping (multistep tunneling) through intervening tyrosines and tryptophans. In this perspective, we advance the hypothesis that such hole hopping through Tyr/Trp chains could protect oxygenase, dioxygenase, and peroxidase enzymes from oxidative damage. In support of this view, by examining the structures of P450 (CYP102A) and 2OG-Fe (TauD) enzymes, we have identified candidate Tyr/Trp chains that could transfer holes from uncoupled high-potential intermediates to reductants in contact with protein surface sites.
