The kinetics of the quenching of the long-livedexcited states of CrL33+ and RuL32+ complexes (L is 1, 10-phenanthroline and2, 2'-bipyridine or substituted derivatives) by the copper proteins plastocyanin, azurin, and stellacyanin have been studied in aqueous solution. The rate constants for quenching by the Cu (I) proteins approach a limiting value of~ 106 s-1 at high protein concentration. The kinetic behavior for plastocyanin is discussed in terms of a model in which the metal complex binds at a remote site 10-12 A from the coppercenter. The model allows for electron transfer both from this remote site and by attack of the metal complex adjacent to the copper center. The results show that at low protein concentration the adjacent pathway is about 10 times faster than theremote pathway. The rate constant for the intramolecular electron transfer from theremote site is consistent with the value expected on the basis of theoretical calculations.
