Brownian motors: noisy transport far from equilibrium

TL;DR: In this paper, the main emphasis is put on directed transport in so-called Brownian motors (ratchets), i.e. a dissipative dynamics in the presence of thermal noise and some prototypical perturbation that drives the system out of equilibrium without introducing a priori an obvious bias into one or the other direction of motion.

Formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their growth to soot—a review of chemical reaction pathways

TL;DR: In this paper, a general scheme of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) formation and sequential growth of PAH by reactions with stable and radical species, including single-ring aromatics, other PAH and acetylene, is discussed.

Electron Transfer Reactions in Chemistry: Theory and Experiment (Nobel Lecture)

TL;DR: Since the late 1940s, the field of electron transfer processes has grown enormously, both in chemistry and biology as discussed by the authors, and the development of the field, experimentally and theoretically, as well as its relation to the study of other kinds of chemical reactions, presents an intriguing history, one in which many threads have been brought together.

The stable states picture of chemical reactions. II. Rate constants for condensed and gas phase reaction models

TL;DR: In this paper, the stable states picture (SSP) was used to derive the time correlation function (tcf) for the rate constant κ for a wide variety of gas and solution phase reaction models.

Fragmentation pathways of protonated peptides

TL;DR: It is shown that the 'mobile proton' model of peptide fragmentation can be used to understand the MS/MS spectra of protonated peptides only in a qualitative manner rationalizing differences observed for low-energy collision induced dissociation of peptides having or lacking a mobile proton.
