“…Myoglobin (Mb) is a single-chain protein of 153 amino acids containing a heme (iron-containing porphyrin) group in the center which is found in mammalian skeleton and muscle tissues. Mb functions physiologically in the storage of oxygen and in the enhancement of the rate of oxygen diffusion, and has catalytic activity for H 2 O 2 decomposition similar to horseradish peroxidase [17,18]. It is an ideal model molecule for the study of electron transfer reactions of heme proteins and also for biosensing and biocatalysis.…”

“…The electrochemistry of Mb has been described in a number of publications such as early on dropping mercury electrodes [1,2] and later by using methyl viologen modified gold electrode [3,4] and indium oxide electrode [5]. However, electron transfer between Mb and bare solid electrodes is usually slow and the protein is irreversibly denatured [3]. Great efforts have been made to facilitate electron transfer for Mb by using different mediators or promoters [6,7].…”

Mb is found in mammalian skeleton and muscle tissues, which functions in the storage of oxygen and in the enhancement of the rate of oxygen diffusion [1,2]. But the electron transfer of Mb is very slow on conventional electrodes because of protein adsorption and subsequent passivation of the electrodes surface.…”
