Abstract

Platinum electrodes can be coated with cytochrome b5-phospholipid monolayers by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. Cyclic voltammetry of a series of dyes shows that the coated electrodes become selective for certain electroactive species. The electron transfer reactions of negatively charged species are inhibited at the modified electrode, whereas positively charged species show enhanced reactivity compared with that at a bare metal electrode.
