Undamped H-Bond Bridge Dynamics Within the Adiabatic Approximation... 

Consider the H-bonded bridge, always within the adiabatic approximation, but now coupled to a thermal bath corresponding to the surroundings. Then, it is possible to infer, from the above conclusions in the situation without damping, some physical ideas on the irreversible action of the surroundings on the H-bond bridge dynamics ...

We begin with a summary of the standard single-electron rigid-bridge model for electron transport [1,2], and then describe effects that arise from bridge dynamics. We next examine issues in multistep multi-center electron transfer. The closely related problem of two-electron transfer is then discussed. Multi-center and multielectron processes are of great relevance for ET in DNA, proteins, and catalytic reactions.
