Abstract

Electron transfer properties of the haem (FeIII/FeII) redox center, in human haemoglobin molecules, were investigated, in vitro, on glass/tin-doped indium oxide electrodes. The total surface concentration of electrochemically active haemoglobin molecules corres-ponded to a single protein monolayer. In addition, anodic and cathodic peak currents changed in direct proportion with the scan rate, sugges-ting a surface-controlled electrode process.
