Abstract
A molecular device including: at least one molecule of zinc cytochrome c; in which an electron or a hole is transferred within the at least one molecule of zinc cytochrome c bar utilizing transition of an electron between molecular orbitals of the at least one molecule of zinc cytochrome c. The molecular orbitals, for example, are a first molecular orbital localized in a first amino acid residue of the at least one molecule of zinc cytochrome c, and a second molecular orbital which is localized in a second amino acid residue of the at least one molecule of zinc cytochrome c and which has a maximum transition probability per unit time with respect to the first molecular orbital. In this case, the electron or the hole is transferred between the first amino acid residue and the second amino acid residue.
