The direct electrochemical behavior of a small metalloprotein cytochrome c incorporated in a montmorillonite-modi®ed membrane is described. The interaction of cytochrome c with the clay colloidal particles was investigated using electrochemical and spectrophotometric methods. The incorporated cytochrome c in the clay-modi®ed membrane displayed a diffusion-controlled electrode process and still maintained its biological activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
