Active Carboxylic Acid-Terminated Alkanethiol Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold Bead Electrodes for Immobilization of Cytochromes c
Abstract
It is extremely difficult to immobilize cytochrome c (cyt c) on carboxylic acid-terminated alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (HOOC-SAM) on gold bead electrodes prepared in a hydrogen flame. We found that simple pretreatment of a HOOC-SAM/gold bead electrode by potential cycling in buffer solution in the range ±300 mV prior to immobilization of the protein facilitated stable cyt c binding to HOOC-SAMs. The stability of cyt c on the HOOC-SAMs is independent of the topology of the gold surface.
