Research Abstract |
Cytochrome P-450s play important biochemical roles, such as drug metabolism, steroid hormone biosy nthesis, and so on. Therefore, P-450s are very useful for sensing and reacting to important materials as related to the physiological function. The objective of the present research is to enlarge the electrochemical reaction of cytochrome P-450 by the molecular synchronization with adrenodoxin that is the component of electron transfer system of P-450 in vivo. In this report, the electrochemical reaction of adrenodoxin itself was investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry. Adrenodoxin solution did not react to the ITO electrode because of the electrostatic repulsion. So, the polycations, poly-L-Lys and poly ally lamine, were added to the reaction solution. As the result, the cathodic and anodic peaks were observed in the presence of those polycations. These results show that adrenodoxin reacts to the electrode by suppressing the electrostatic repulsion between the protein and the electrode. In addition, it was succeeded that ferredoxin could be immobilized on the electrode mediated by polycation without denatured.
