Abstract
We review the status of protein-based molecular electronics. First, we define and discuss fundamental concepts of electron transfer and transport in and across proteins and proposed mechanisms for these processes. We then describe the immobilization of proteins to solid-state surfaces in both nanoscale and macroscopic approaches, and highlight how different methodologies can alter protein electronic properties. Because immobilizing proteins while retaining biological activity is crucial to the successful development of bioelectronic devices, we discuss this process at length. We briefly discuss computational predictions and their connection to experimental results. We then summarize how the biological activity of immobilized proteins is beneficial for bioelectronic devices, and how conductance measurements can shed light on protein properties. Finally, we consider how the research to date could influence the development of future bioelectronic devices.

Abstract
Bioconjugation, defined as chemical modification of biomolecules, is widely employed in biological and biophysical studies. It can expand functional diversity and enable applications ranging from biocatalysis, biosensing and even therapy. This review summarizes how chemical modifications of cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s or CYPs) have contributed to improving our understanding of these enzymes. Genetic modifications of P450s have also proven very useful but are not covered in this review. Bioconjugation has served to gain structural information and investigate the mechanism of P450s via photoaffinity labeling, mechanism-based inhibition (MBI) and fluorescence studies. P450 surface acetylation and protein cross-linking have contributed to the investigation of protein complexes formation involving P450 and its redox partner or other P450 enzymes. Finally, covalent immobilization on polymer surfaces or electrodes has benefited the areas of biocatalysis and biosensor design. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Cytochrome P450 biodiversity and biotechnology, edited by Erika Plettner, Gianfranco Gilardi, Luet Wong, Vlada Urlacher, Jared Goldstone.

Abstract
Electrochemical methods continue to present an attractive means for achieving in vitro biocatalysis with cytochromes P450; however understanding fully the nature of electrode-bound P450 remains elusive. Herein we report thermodynamic parameters using electrochemical analysis of full-length mammalian microsomal cytochrome P450 2B4 (CYP 2B4) in didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) surfactant films. Electronic absorption spectra of CYP 2B4-DDAB films on silica slides reveal an absorption maximum at 418nm, characteristic of low-spin, six-coordinate, water-ligated Fe(III) heme in P450. The Fe(III/II) and Fe(II/I) redox couples (E1/2) of substrate-free CYP 2B4 measured by cyclic voltammetry are -0.23V and -1.02V (vs. SCE, or 14mV and -776mV vs. NHE) at 21°C. The standard heterogeneous rate constant for electron transfer from the electrode to the heme for the Fe(III/II) couple was estimated at 170s(-1). Experiments indicate that the system is capable of catalytic reduction of dioxygen, however substrate oxidation was not observed. From the variation of E1/2 with temperature (18-40°C), we have measured entropy and enthalpy changes that accompany heme reduction, -151Jmol(-1)K(-1) and -46kJmol(-1), respectfully. The corresponding entropy and enthalpy values are less for the six-coordinate low-spin, imidazole-ligated enzyme (-59Jmol(-1)K(-1) and -18kJmol(-1)), consistent with limited conformational changes upon reduction. These thermodynamic parameters are comparable to those measured for bacterial P450 from Bacillus megaterium (CYP BM3), confirming our prior reports that the surfactant environment exerts a strong influence on the redox properties of the heme.

Abstract
This is the first report of the direct electrochemistry of the reductase (PHR) and oxygenase (PHO) components of phenol hydroxylase from Acinetobacter radioresistens S13 studied by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry. The PHR contains one 2Fe2S cluster and one FAD that mediate the transfer of electrons from NAD(P)H to the non-heme diiron cluster of PHO. Cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry (CV and DPV) on glassy carbon showed two redox pairs with midpoint potentials at +131.5 ± 13 mV and -234 ± 3 mV versus normal hydrogen electrode (NHE). The first redox couple is attributed to the FeS centre, while the second one corresponds to free FAD released by the protein. DPV scans on native and guanidinium chloride treated PHR highlighted the presence of a split signal (ΔE ≈ 100 mV) attributed to heterogeneous properties of the 2Fe2S cluster interacting with the electrode, possibly due to the presence of two protein conformers and consistently with the large peak-to-peak separation and the peak broadening observed in CV. DPV experiments on gold electrodes performed on PHO confirm a consistently higher reduction potential at +396 mV vs. NHE. The positive redox potentials measured by direct electrochemistry for the FeS cluster in PHR and for the non-heme diiron cluster of PHO show that the entire phenol hydroxylase system works at higher potentials than those reported for structurally similar enzymes, for example methane monooxygenases.

Abstract
Voltammetry of cytochrome P450 (cyt P450) enzymes in ultrathin films with polyions was related for the first time to electronic and secondary structure. Heterogeneous electron transfer (hET) rate constants for reduction of the cyt P450s depended on heme iron spin state, with low spin cyt P450cam giving a value 40-fold larger than high spin human cyt P450 1A2, with mixed spin human P450 cyt 2E1 at an intermediate value. Asymmetric reduction-oxidation peak separations with increasing scan rates were explained by simulations featuring faster oxidation than reduction. Results are consistent with a square scheme in which oxidized and reduced forms of cyt P450s each participate in rapid conformational equilibria. Rate constants for oxidation of ferric cyt P450s in films by t-butyl hydroperoxide to active ferryloxy cyt P450s from rotating disk voltammetry suggested a weaker dependence on spin state, but in the reverse order of the observed hET reduction rates. Oxidation and reduction rates of cyt P450s in the films are also likely to depend on protein secondary structure around the heme iron.

Abstract
Two-dimensional layered inorganic solids, such as cationic clays and layered double hydroxides (LDHs), also defined as anionic clays, have open structures which are favourable for interactions with enzymes and which intercalate redox mediators. This review aims to show the interest in clays and LDHs as suitable host matrices likely to immobilize enzymes onto electrode surfaces for biosensing applications. It is meant to provide an overview of the various types of electrochemical biosensors that have been developed with these 2D layered materials, along with significant advances over the last several years. The different biosensor configurations and their specific transduction procedures are discussed.

Abstract
The possible role of structural iron in clays to promote direct electron transfer of hemoglobin (Hb) was investigated. Clays containing different amounts of iron situated in octahedral or tetrahedral sites have been used to modify glassy carbon electrodes: nontronite, synthetic montmorillonite, and saponite. A synthetic montmorillonite containing non-iron impurities was used as a reference. Interactions between Hb and these clays were studied with the establishment of adsorption isotherms and by the analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns, FTIR, and UV-vis spectra of the Hb-clay samples. The electrochemical behavior of clay modified electrodes (CME) was characterized by cyclic voltammetry in the presence of Hb in solution or adsorbed within the clays. Nontronite, which contains the highest amount of structural iron, enhanced significantly direct electron transfer of Hb. Finally, the electrocatalytic behavior of Hb-Nontronite CME in the presence of hydrogen peroxide was also studied, and the H(2)O(2) calibration curve was recorded under amperometric conditions for different bioelectrode configurations.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes typically require the presence of at least cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) and NADPH to carry out the metabolism of xenobiotics. To address whether the need for redox transfer proteins and the NADPH cofactor protein could be obviated, CYP2C9 was bonded to a gold electrode through an 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid and octanethiol self-assembled monolayer (SAM) through which a current could be applied. Cyclic voltammetry demonstrated direct electrochemistry of the CYP2C9 enzyme bonded to the electrode and fast electron transfer between the heme iron and the gold electrode. To determine whether this system could metabolize warfarin analogous to microsomal or expressed enzyme systems containing CYP2C9, warfarin was incubated with the CYP2C9-SAM-gold electrode and a controlled potential was applied. The expected 7-hydroxywarfarin metabolite was observed, analogous to expressed CYP2C9 systems, wherein this is the predominant metabolite. Current-concentration data generated with increasing concentrations of warfarin were used to determine the Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)) for the hydroxylation of warfarin (3 microM), which is in good agreement with previous literature regarding K(m) values for this reaction. In summary, the CYP2C9-SAM-gold electrode system was able to carry out the metabolism of warfarin only after application of an electrical potential, but in the absence of either CPR or NADPH. Furthermore, this system may provide a unique platform for both studying P450 enzyme electrochemistry and as a bioreactor to produce metabolites without the need for expensive redox transfer proteins and cofactors.

Abstract
In this work, to improve the mechanical stability of electrodes based on P450scc for LDL-cholesterol detection and measure, anodic porous alumina (APA) was used. This inorganic matrix, which pores can be tuned in diameter modifying the synthesis parameters, was realized with cavities 275 nm wide and 160 microm deep (as demonstrated with AFM and SEM measurement), to allow the immobilization of P450scc macromolecules preserving their electronic sensitivity to its native substrate, cholesterol. Even if the sensitivity of the APA+P450scc system was slightly reduced with respect to the pure P450scc system, the readout was stable for a much longer period of time, and the measures remained reproducible inside a proper confidentiality band, as demonstrated with several cyclic voltammetry measures. To optimize the adhesion of P450scc to APA, a layer of poly-L-lysine, a poly-cathion, was successfully implemented as intermediate organic structure.

Abstract
New approach to the electrochemical reduction of cytochromes P450 (P450s, CYPs) at electrodes chemically modified with appropriate substrates for P450s ("reverse" electrodes) was proposed. The method is based on the analysis of cyclic voltammograms, square-wave voltammograms and amperograms with subsequent determination of electrochemical characteristics such as catalytic current and redox potential. The sensitivity of proposed method is 0.2-1 nmol P450/electrode. The changes of maximal current and of redox potentials in square-wave voltammograms as well as the changes of catalytic current in amperometric experiments proved to be informative and reliable. Planar regime of screen-printed electrodes (strip-type sensors) enabled to utilise 20-60 microl of electrolyte volume. The enzyme-substrate pairs P450 2B4/benzphetamine and P450scc/cholesterol were investigated. Electrochemical parameters of electrodes with unspecific P450 substrates differed considerably from electrodes with appropriate substrates.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes perform crucial functions in humans, including the metabolism of drugs and hormone synthesis. The catalytic reactions performed by these enzymes (typically monoxygenation) require the transfer of electrons. Thermodynamic and mechanistic detail of the electron transfer component of these catalytic processes has been obtained traditionally from potentiometric titrations. More recently, voltammetric approaches (that are inherently simpler and require less sample) have been used. This has been made possible by the creation of biocompatible electrode surfaces at which the P450 enzyme is confined and able to undergo physiologically relevant electron transfer processes. The continuing challenge has been to obtain an in vivo-like enzyme response, and to provide the basis for the creation of an artificial bioprocess in vitro. A powerful instrumental electrochemical method, employing Fourier-transformed large-amplitude ac voltammetry, offers the potential for greater insight and new opportunities to understand the nuances of the electron transfer process. This review highlights several recent advances in the electrochemistry of P450 enzymes rather than providing a comprehensive review of P450 electrochemistry.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s or CYPs) form a large family of heme proteins involved in drug metabolism and in the biosynthesis of steroids, lipids, vitamins and natural products. Their remarkable ability to catalyze the insertion of oxygen into non-activated C-H bonds has attracted the interest of chemists for several decades. Very few chemical methods exist that directly hydroxylate aliphatic or aromatic C-H bonds, and most of them are not selective or of limited scope. Biocatalysts such as P450s represent a promising alternative: however, their applications have been limited by substrate specificity, low activity, poor stability and the need for cofactors. This review covers the attempts to overcome these limitations using approaches such as mutagenesis, chemical modifications, conditions engineering and immobilization.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (P450) from Pseudomonas putida was immobilized on Ag electrodes coated with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) via electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions as well as by covalent cross-linking. The redox and conformational equilibria of the immobilized protein were studied by potential-dependent surface-enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy. All immobilization conditions lead to the formation of the cytochrome P420 (P420) form of the enzyme. The redox potential of the electrostatically adsorbed P420 is significantly more positive than in solution and shows a steady downshift upon shortening of the length of the carboxyl-terminated SAMs, i.e., upon increasing the strength of the local electric field. Thus, two opposing effects modulate the redox potential of the adsorbed enzyme. First, the increased hydrophobicity of the heme environment brought about by immobilization on the SAM tends to upshift the redox potential by stabilizing the formally neutral ferrous form. Second, increasing electric fields tend to stabilize the positively charged ferric form, producing the opposite effect. The results provide insight into the parameters that control the structure and redox properties of heme proteins and contribute to the understanding of the apparently anomalous behavior of P450 enzymes in bioelectronic devices.

Abstract
Heme-thiolate proteins (HTPs) play critical biological roles by catalyzing challenging chemical reactions. The ability of HTPs to selectively oxidize inert substrates under mild conditions has led to much research aimed at the development of useful in vitro oxidation technology. Very complex electron transfer machinery is required to support HTP chemistry, and electrochemical methods provide many of the needed components. The challenge is to find a system that has good electrode-enzyme electronic coupling that, in turn, would drive catalytic turnover at relatively high rates. Several systems reviewed herein have shown promise in experimental work on components that could be part of a molecular machine for the selective oxidation of organic substrates.

Abstract
The effects of site-specific mutation of the axial cysteine (C357M) to a methionine residue in cytochrome P450cam on the enzyme's coordination geometry and redox potential have been investigated. The absorption spectra of the haem centre in the C357M mutant of the enzyme showed close similarity to those of cytochrome c both in the oxidised and reduced forms. A well-defined absorption peak at 695 nm, similar to that seen in the case of cytochrome c and characteristic of methionine ligation to the ferric haem, was observed. The results indicated that the haem of C357M cytochrome P450cam is possibly axially coordinated to a methionine and a histidine, analogously to cytochrome c. The circular dichroism spectra in the visible and the far-UV regions suggested that the tertiary structure of the haem cavity in the C357M mutant cytochrome P450cam was distinctly different from that in the wild-type enzyme or in cytochrome c, although the secondary structure of the mutant remained identical to that of the wild-type cytochrome P450cam. Comparison of the natures of the CD spectra in the 400 nm and 695 nm regions of the C357M mutant of cytochrome P450cam with those of horse cytochrome c suggested (R) chirality at the sulfur atom of the iron-bound methionine residue in the mutant. The redox potential of the haem centre, estimated by redox titration of the C357M mutant, was found to be +260 mV, which is much higher than that in the wild-type enzyme and similar to the redox potential of cytochrome c. This supported the concept that axial ligation of the haem plays the major role in tuning the redox potential of the haem centre in haem proteins.

Abstract
A novel core-shell protein nanocluster film, designated as clay-(Hb/PSS)(n), was fabricated on pyrolytic graphite (PG) electrodes. Positively charged hemoglobin (Hb) at pH 5.5 and negatively charged poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) were first assembled layer by layer on surface of clay nanoparticles from their solutions mainly by electrostatic attraction, forming a core-shell nanocluster structure in which clay nanoparticles were the "cores" and (Hb/PSS)(n) multilayers were the "shells". The aqueous dispersion of clay-(Hb/PSS)(n) nanoclusters was then cast on surface of PG electrodes, forming clay-(Hb/PSS)(n) nanocluster films after evaporation of solvent. Hb in clay-(Hb/PSS)(n) films exhibited a pair of well-defined and reversible cyclic voltammetric (CV) peaks at about -0.36 V vs. SCE in pH 7.0 buffers, characteristic of Hb heme Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couples. Compared with other Hb-containing clay films, clay-(Hb/PSS)(n) films displayed smaller CV peak separation (DeltaE(p)), indicating the better electrochemical reversibility of Hb in these nanocluster films. The partially ordered structure of the films was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments. UV-VIS and reflection absorption infrared (RAIR) spectroscopy suggests that Hb retains its near-native structure in clay-(Hb/PSS)(n) films. Oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, and nitrite were catalytically reduced at clay-(Hb/PSS)(n) film electrodes, showing the potential applicability of the films as the new type of biosensors or bioreactors based on protein direct electrochemistry. The electrochemical and electrocatalytic activity of the films could be tailored by controlling the number of bilayers of the (Hb/PSS)(n) shells on the surface of clay nanoparticle cores.

Abstract
This paper is concerned with an investigation of electron transfer between cytochrome P450scc (CYP11A1) and gold nanoparticles immobilised on rhodium-graphite electrodes. Thin films of gold nanoparticles were deposited onto the rhodium-graphite electrodes by drop casting. Cytochrome P450scc was deposited onto both gold nanoparticle modified and bare rhodium-graphite electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry indicated enhanced activity of the enzyme at the gold nanoparticle modified surface. The role of the nanoparticles in mediating electron transfer to the cytochrome P450scc was verified using ac impedance spectroscopy. Equivalent circuit analysis of the impedance spectra was performed and the values of the individual components estimated. On addition of aliquots of cholesterol to the electrolyte bioelectrocatalytic reduction currents were obtained. The sensitivity of the nanoparticle modified biosensor to cholesterol was 0.13 microA microM-1 in a detection range between 10 and 70 microM of cholesterol. This confirms that gold nanoparticles enhance electron transfer to the P450scc when present on the rhodium-graphite electrodes.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) is a large family of enzymes containing heme as the active site. Since their discovery and the elucidation of their structure, they have attracted the interest of scientist for many years, particularly due to their catalytic abilities. Since the late 1970s attempts have concentrated on the construction and development of electrochemical sensors. Although sensors based on mediated electron transfer have also been constructed, the direct electron transfer approach has attracted most of the interest. This has enabled the investigation of the electrochemical properties of the various isoforms of CYP. Furthermore, CYP utilized to construct biosensors for the determination of substrates important in environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical industry and clinical practice.

Abstract
The electrochemistry of human cytochrome P4502C9 (CYP2C9) was characterised using purified His-tagged enzyme. The His-tagged enzyme was shown to have similar functional characteristics to native CYP2C9 heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and to the CYP2C9 activity of human liver microsomes. Evidence was observed for a reversible one-electron transfer between the P450 heme and the electrode. Both pH and ionic strength influenced the electrochemical behaviour of CYP2C9. A range of substrates was investigated to determine the effect of the heme-substrate interaction on CYP2C9 redox potential. In the absence of oxygen, tolbutamide, diclofenac, warfarin and sulfaphenazole did not alter the redox potential of the iron heme. In contrast, torsemide, carbon monoxide and oxygen led to an anodic shift in redox potential. These results suggest alternative mechanisms by which CYP2C9 (and by inference other P450 enzymes) may alter redox potential to facilitate electron delivery from physiological donors.

Abstract
The spectroelectrochemistry of camphor-bound cytochrome P450cam (P450cam) using gold electrodes is described. The electrodes were modified with either 4,4(')-dithiodipyridin or sodium dithionite. Electrolysis of P450cam was carried out when the enzyme was in solution, while at the same time UV-visible absorption spectra were recorded. Reversible oxidation and reduction could be observed with both 4,4(')-dithiodipyridin and dithionite modified electrodes. A formal potential (E(0')) of -373mV vs Ag/AgCl 1M KCl was determined. The spectra of P450cam complexed with either carbon monoxide or metyrapone, both being inhibitors of P450 catalysis, clearly indicated that the protein retained its native state in the electrochemical cell during electrolysis.

Abstract
Cytochrome p450BM3 is a self-sufficient fatty acid monooxygenase consisting of a diflavin (FAD/FMN) reductase domain and a heme domain fused together in a single polypeptide chain. The multidomain structure makes it an ideal model system for studying the mechanism of electron transfer and for understanding p450 systems in general. Here we report the redox properties of the cytochrome p450BM3 wild-type holoenzyme, and its isolated FAD reductase and p450 heme domains, when immobilized in a didodecyldimethylammonium bromide film cast on an edge-plane graphite electrode. The holoenzyme showed cyclic voltammetric peaks originating from both the flavin reductase domain and the FeIII/FeII redox couple contained in the heme domain, with formal potentials of -0.388 and -0.250 V with respect to a saturated calomel electrode, respectively. When measured in buffer solutions containing the holoenzyme or FAD-reductase domain, the reductase response could be maintained for several hours as a result of protein reorganization and refreshing at the didodecyldimethylammonium modified surface. When measured in buffer solution alone, the cyclic voltammetric peaks from the reductase domain rapidly diminished in favour of the heme response. Electron transfer from the electrode to the heme was measured directly and at a similarly fast rate (ks' = 221 s-1) to natural biological rates. The redox potential of the FeIII/FeII couple increased when carbon monoxide was bound to the reduced heme, but when in the presence of substrate(s) no shift in potential was observed. The reduced heme rapidly catalysed the reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
We developed a biosensor based on the redox properties of human CYP3A4 to directly monitor electron transfer to the heme protein. Enzyme films were assembled on gold electrodes by alternate adsorption of a CYP3A4 layer on top of a polycation layer. Direct, reversible electron transfer between the electrode and CYP3A4 was observed with voltammetry under anaerobic conditions. In the presence of oxygen, the oxidation peak of the hemoprotein disappeared, and the reduction peak increased 2- to 3-fold. Addition of CYP3A4 substrates (verapamil, midazolam, quinidine, and progesterone) to the oxygenated solution caused a concentration-dependent increase in the reduction current in cyclic voltammetric and amperometric experiments. Product analyses after electrolysis with the enzyme film showed catalytic activity of the biosensor depending on substrate concentration, its inhibition by ketoconazole, and a minor contribution of H(2)O(2) to the catalytic cycle. These results suggest that electron exchange between the electrode and the immobilized CYP3A4 occurred, and that metabolic activity of the enzyme was maintained. Thus, important requirements for the application of human CYP biosensors in order to identify drugs or drug candidates as substrates or inhibitors to the attached enzyme are fulfilled.

Abstract
Recent studies on microbial cytochrome P450 enzymes have covered several new areas. Advances have been made in structure-function analysis and new non-enzymatic/electrochemical systems for the replacement of NAD(P)H in biocatalysis have been developed. Furthermore, the properties of some enzymes have been re-engineered by site-directed mutagenesis or by methods of directed evolution and new P450s have been functionally expressed and characterized. It is thought that a combination of these approaches will facilitate the use of isolated P450 monooxygenases in biocatalysis.

Abstract
Using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) we have monitored the changes in the protein structure following photoinduced electron transfer from Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) covalently attached to cysteine 334 on the surface of cytochrome P450cam (CYP101). The FTIR difference spectra between the oxidized and reduced form indicate changes in a salt link and the secondary structure (alpha-helix and turn regions). Photoreduction was carried out in the presence of carbon monoxide in order to prove the reduction of the heme iron by means of the appearance of the characteristic CO stretch vibration infrared band at 1940 cm(-1) for the camphor-bound protein. This infrared band has also been used to estimate electron transfer rates. The observed rates depend on the protein concentration, indicating that intermolecular electron transfer occurs between the labeled molecules.
