Heterogeneous electron transfer of cytochrome c facilitated by polypyrrole and methylene blue polypyrrole film modified electrodes.

Polypyrrole and methylene blue incorporated polypyrrole thin-film modified electrodes were prepared by the electrochemical polymerization method. These modified electrodes may facilitate heterogeneous electron transfer of cytochrome c with high electrocatalytic activity and good stability. Optical thin-layer spectroelectrochemical techniques were used to determine the characteristics of these electrochemical processes such as formal redox potential (E0), electron transfer number (n), and the apparent rate constant (ks.h0).
