摘要:

Quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) and cyclic voltammetry(CV) were used to characterize the monolayer of cytochrome c(Cyt c), which was adsorbed on gold film modified with alkanethiol mixed monolayer. A direct comparison of protein surface coverages calculated from QCM and cyclic voltammetric measurements illustrates that the ratio of the electroactive Cyt c to the total surface-confined Cyt cis 34%, which suggests that the orientation is a main factor affecting the electroactivity of Cyt c. Moreover, surface plasmon resonance(SPR) measurement combined with CV “in situ” was used to investigate the conformational change of Cyt c in the redox process. Besides, Au nanoparticles(Au NPs) were adsorbed on the surface of Cyt c. The result indicates that Au NPs promote electron transfer between Cyt c and the gold electrode, and SPR result suggests Au NPs enhance SPR signal.
