    Abstract:
    Here, we report on cytochrome c/bilirubin oxidase multilayer electrodes with different cytochrome c (cyt c) forms including mutant forms of human cyt c, which exhibit different reaction rates with bilirubin oxidase (BOD) in solution. The multilayer formation via the layer-by-layer technique and the kinetic behavior of the mono (only cyt c) and biprotein (cyt c and BOD) multilayer systems are studied by SPR and cyclic voltammetry. For the layer construction, sulfonated polyaniline is used. The only cyt c containing multilayer electrodes show that the quantity of deposited protein and the kinetic behavior depend on the cyt c form incorporated. In the case of the biprotein multilayer with BOD, it is demonstrated that the catalytic signal chain from the electrode via cyt c to BOD and oxygen can be established with all chosen cyt c forms. However, the magnitude of the catalytic current as well as the kinetic behavior differ significantly. We conclude that the different cytochrome c forms affect three parameters, identified here, to be important for the functionality of the multilayer system: the amount of molecules per layer, which can be immobilized on the electrodes, the cyt c self-exchange rate, and the rate constant for the reaction with BOD.
