Abstract

Protein-film square-wave voltammetry of uniformly adsorbed molecules of redox lipophilic enzymes is applied to study their electrochemical properties, when a reversible follow-up chemical reaction is coupled to the electrochemically generated product of enzyme’s electrode reaction. Theoretical consideration of this so-called “surface ECrev mechanism” under conditions of squarewave voltammetry has revealed several new aspects, especially by enzymatic electrode reactions featuring fast electron transfer. We show that the rate of chemical removal/resupply of electrochemically generated Red (ads) enzymatic species, shows quite specific features to all current components of calculated square-wave voltammograms and affects the electrode kinetics. The effects observed are specific for this particular redox mechanism
(surface ECrev mechanism), and they got more pronounced at high electrode kinetics of enzymatic reaction. The features of phenomena of “split net-SWV peak” and “quasireversible maximum”, which are typical for surface redox reactions studied in square-wave voltammetry, are strongly affected by kinetics and thermodynamics of follow-up chemical reaction. While we present plenty of relevant voltammetric situations useful for recognizing this particular mechanism in square-wave voltammetry, we also propose a new approach to get access to kinetics and thermodynamics of follow-up chemical reaction. Most of the results in this work throw new insight into the features of protein-film systems that are coupled with chemical reactions.
