Short-range electron-transfer (ET) reactions in biological systems are usually ultrafast, having transfer rates comparable to or even faster than corresponding environmental fluctuations, and often display nonexponential behaviors. To understand these nonequilibrium ET dynamics, we carried out detailed theoretical analyses based on the Sumi-Marcus model. It is shown that the ET dynamics is largely determined by the relative time scales of the ET reaction and its surrounding motions. Significantl ...[more]
