Some fundamental insights into biological redox catalysis from the electrochemical characteristics of enzymes attached directly to electrodes
Fräser A. Armstrong
Abstract
This article outlines examples of where electrochemical investigations of electrocatalysis by proteins immobilised on an electrode reveal fundamental information about electron-proton coupling in catalysis and provide a new way to energise, control and observe multi-enzyme cascades.
