Mediated electrochemistry of peroxidases--effects of variations in protein and mediator structures

Biosens Bioelectron. 1997 Dec 30;12(12):1191-8. doi: 10.1016/s0956-5663(97)00089-4.

Abstract

The kinetics of a range of ferrocene derivatives with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) and 3 charge reversal mutants of cytochrome c peroxidase were measured using cyclic voltammetry. Substantial differences in rate constant (100 fold) were observed between HRP and CCP for the same mediator with smaller differences (4-5 fold) for different mediators with the same enzyme. The rate constant did not seem to be dependent on redox potential differences. Cluster analysis is proposed as a way of classifying mediator reactivity.
