Abstract

Background. The redox-active protein, myoglobin (Mb), exchanges electrons very slowly with bare electrodes. Just like on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) bare electrode, electron transfer between myoglobin (Mb) and a bare glassy carbon (GC) electrode was not observed. The myoglobin (Mb) in di-dodecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide (DDAB) film immobilized on glassy carbon electrode surface had a good charge transport, allowing Mb to be used as a redox catalyst for multi-electron transfer reactions. Objective. We report here the myoglobin on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode as a catalyst for the multi-electron reduction of bisulfite in aqueous buffered solutions. Methods. Coulometry and chronoamperometry are used as tools to probe the Mb/DDAB film on GC electrode as an effective electro-catalyst for the multi-electron reduction of bisulfite. Results. Variation in current with time of bisulfite reduction followed first-order reaction kinetics. The heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant of the film and catalytic rate constant for the reduction of bisulfite were determined. Conclusion. The study confirmed that bisulfite was the reactive species and the catalytic reduction reaction at Mb/DDAB film followed the EC’ catalytic mechanism.
