This review covers copper enzymes like azurin and laccase, detailing their electrochemistry and structure. Long-range electron transfer between these enzymes and electrodes is demonstrated, with proposed mechanisms for direct electron transfer (DET) processes.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Electrochemistry
  • Protein Science

Background:

  • Copper-containing proteins and enzymes play crucial roles in biological redox reactions.
  • Understanding their electrochemical properties is key to harnessing their catalytic potential.
  • Examples include azurin, galactose oxidase, tyrosinase, and various blue multicopper oxidases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and discuss the electrochemistry of selected copper proteins and enzymes.
  • To correlate electrochemical behavior with biochemical and structural features.
  • To explore direct electron transfer (DET) mechanisms between these enzymes and electrode surfaces.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of electrochemical studies on copper-containing proteins.
  • Analysis of biochemical and structural data for these enzymes.
