Water plays multiple roles in biological electron transfer (ET): energy bath, polarizable medium that defines the reaction coordinate, electronic coupling bridge, and intimate participant in molecular recognition. This article explores these many faces of water in ET. Links are drawn to reactions in photosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, proton-coupled ET, and DNA damage and repair.
