Protocol for construction and characterization of direct electron transfer-based enzyme-electrode using gold binding...

Here, we present a protocol for constructing direct electron transfer (DET)-based enzyme-electrodes using gold-binding peptide (GBP). We describe fusion of four GBPs to flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent glucose dehydrogenase gamma-alpha complex (GDHγα), as model oxidoreductase, to generate four GDHγα variants. We then detail the measurements of catalytic and bioelectrochemical properties of these GDHγα variants on electrode together with surface morphology of GDHγα variants immobilized on gold surface. This protocol is useful for construction and validation of enzyme-based electrocatalytic system. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lee et al. (2021).
