You could look at this paper:
%A R.C. Walker
%A M.M. deSouza
%A I.P. Mercer
%A I.R. Gould
%A D.R. Klug
%T Large and Fast Relaxations inside a Protein: Calculation and Measurement of
Reorganization Energies in Alcohol Dehydrogenase
%J J. Phys. Chem. B
%V 106
%P 11658-11665
%D 2002
There are probably others I don't know about, but this might help you get
started.
....good luck..dac
