experimental evidence exists to suggest that hydrogen bonds play a role in the long-distance electron transfer mechanism of azurin. Taken together, these observations suggest that electrons tunnel through the protein along its polypeptide and hydrogen bonds, making azurin a useful model system for studying long-range, intraprotein electron transfer (LRET).

Protein structure

Azurin is a monomeric protein that weighs approximately 14 kDa and is composed of 128 amino acids forming eight
