title: Protein engineering in bioelectrocatalysis.
abstract: Electrochemistry of redox proteins is a broadly applicable technology with important applications in biosensors, biofuel cells and chemical syntheses. Escalating attention in this area is driven by remarkable progress in designing efficient interfaces for transferring electrons between electrode surfaces and redox proteins. Research in interface design is slowly shifting from modifying electrode surfaces towards the engineering of redox proteins. Protein engineering, which encompasses rational design, directed evolution and combined methods, offers many powerful methods and strategies for improving the electron transfer properties of redox proteins.
