Abstract
The Marcus theory for outer-sphere (non-bonded) electron transfer reactions is presented. In addition, it is applied to the problem of identifying compounds capable of generating radical ions and/or radicals fast electron transfer to or from redox proteins. The use of the Marcus treatment is illustrated by several examples involving different types of xenobiotics.
