摘要
Vertical molecular transistors are used to explain the nonconformal electron transfer results obtained for redox proteins. The transport characteristics of a negative differential resistance peak as appears in the transport data of azurin and its nonredox derivative are explored. A correlation between the peak and its redox center is demonstrated.
