Abstract: | The electrochemical behavior of myoglobin (Mb) and hemoglobin (Hb) was investigated with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode by cyclic voltammetry. In acetate buffer solutions, the oxygen reduction at the BDD electrode showed a very high overpotential while the reduction of Mb or Hb was observed in the more positive potential region. Owing to the electrocatalytic reaction of O2 and the participation of H+ following the electrochemical reduction of ferric proteins, the voltammetric responses for Mb and Hb on the BDD electrode in the negative going scans became remarkable in acidic buffer solutions in air. The peak current was linearly proportional to the concentration of Mb in the range 1×10−6–2×10−5 M or the concentration of Hb from 1×10−6 to 1×10−5 M. |
