title: A reagentless electrochemical biosensor based on a protein scaffold.
abstract: Apo-myoglobin, labeled with the environmentally sensitive redox probe RuII(NH3)4(1,10-phenanthroline-5-maleimide)2+, was immobilized onto gold electrodes modified with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid and subsequently labeled with biotin; avidin binding to the immobilized biotin was specifically and quantitatively detected by a change in cyclic voltammetry of the co-immobilized probe.
