We show a rapid redox reaction for cytochrome P450(cam) on a clay-modified electrode. This fast electron transfer is comparable to natural biological rates, offering insights into enzyme electrochemistry.

Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Biochemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Cytochrome P450(cam) is a crucial enzyme involved in metabolic processes.
  • Understanding its redox reactions is vital for bioelectrocatalysis and sensor development.
  • Heterogeneous electron transfer in enzymes often faces kinetic limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the heterogeneous redox reaction kinetics of substrate-free cytochrome P450(cam).
  • To explore the effect of a sodium montmorillonite modified glassy carbon electrode on enzyme electrochemistry.
  • To determine the electron transfer rate and formal potential of adsorbed P450(cam).

Main Methods:

  • Electrochemical characterization using cyclic voltammetry on a modified glassy carbon electrode.

  • Surface modification with sodium montmorillonite clay.
  • Spectroscopic analysis (UV-VIS and FTIR) to assess enzyme structure.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a very fast heterogeneous redox reaction for substrate-free cytochrome P450(cam).
    • Observed a reversible one-electron transfer surface process with electron transfer rates up to 152 s⁻¹.
    • Reported a formal potential of -139 mV (vs NHE) for adsorbed P450(cam), a positive shift attributed to partial dehydration.

    Conclusions:

    • Sodium montmorillonite effectively facilitates rapid electron transfer for cytochrome P450(cam).
    • The observed electron transfer rates are competitive with natural enzymatic electron transfer pathways.
    • Electrode modification can alter enzyme redox potential, potentially due to conformational changes like dehydration.
