Biocompatible nanosized polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer films provided a suitable microenvironment for heme proteins to transfer electron directly with underlying pyrolytic graphite (PG) electrodes. Hemoglobin (Hb), myoglobin (Mb), horseradish peroxidase (HRP), and catalase (Cat) incorporated in PAMAM films exhibited a pair of well-defined, quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks, respectively, characteristic of the protein heme Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couples. While Hb-, Mb-, and HRP-PAMAM films showed the cyclic voltammetry (CV) peaks at about -0.34 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE) in pH 7.0 buffers, Cat-PAMAM films displayed the peak pair at a more negative potential of -0.47 V. The protein-PAMAM films demonstrated a surface-confined or thin-layer voltammetric behavior. The electrochemical parameters such as apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constants (k s ) and formal potentials (E o ') were estimated by square wave voltammetry with nonlinear regression analysis. UV-vis and IR spectroscopy showed that the proteins retained their near-native secondary structures in PAMAM films. Oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, and nitrite were catalytically reduced at the protein-PAMAM film electrodes, showing the potential applicability of the films as the new type of biosensors or bioreactors based on direct electrochemistry of the proteins.
