title: Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of myoglobin covalently immobilized in mesopores cellular foams.
abstract: Myoglobin (Mb) was firstly covalently immobilized into mesopores cellular foams (MCFs) to fabricate the protein electrode (Mb-MCFs/GC electrode) and study the direct electrochemistry of redox protein. The results of UV-vis and FTIR spectra illustrated that the covalently immobilized Mb well retained its native structure and presented good stability. Cyclic voltammetry of Mb-MCFs/GC electrode showed nearly reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks, indicating the direct electron transfer of Mb-FeIII/FeII. In addition, Mb-MCFs/GC electrode exhibited favorable electrocatalytic reduction to H2O2 with high sensitivity, good thermal and long-time stability. Such an avenue, which integrated mesopores cellular foams and redox protein via a simple covalent method, may provide a novel and efficient platform for the fabrication of the third generation biosensor.
