Several ruthenium ammine complexes were used to modify horse-heart cytochrome c at histidine-33, creating a series of (NH{sub 3}){sub 4}(L)Ru-Cyt c derivatives (L = H{sub 2}O/OH{sup -}, ammonia, 4-ethylpyridine, 3,5-lutidine, pyridine, isonicotinamide, N-methylpyrazinium) with a wide range of driving forces for Fe-to-Ru electron transfer (-{Delta}G{degree} = -0.125 to +0.46 eV). Electron-transfer rates and activation parameters were measured by pulse radiolysis using azide or carbonate radicals. The driving-force dependence of electron-transfer rates between redox centers of the same charge types obeys Marcus-Hush theory. The activationless rate limit for all of the ruthenium derivatives except the N-methylpyrazinium complex is 3.9x10{sup 5} s{sup -1}. Thermodynamic parameters obtained from nonisothermal differential pulse voltammetry show that the electron-transfer reactions are entropy-driven. The thermodynamic and kinetic effects of phosphate ion binding to the ruthenium center are examined. The rate of intramolecular electron transfer in (NH{sub 3}){sub 4}(isn)Ru{sup III}-Cyt c{sup II} decreases at high pH, with a midpoint at pH 9.1. 28 refs., 4 figs., 3 tabs.
