Mimochrome VI (MC-VI) is a synthetic heme peptide containing a helix heme helix sandwich motif designed to reproduce the catalytic activity of heme oxidases. The thermodynamics of Fe(III) to Fe(II) reduction and the kinetics of the electron-transfer process for MC-VI immobilized through hydrophobic interactions on a gold electrode coated with a nonpolar SAM of decane-l-thiol have been determined through cyclic voltammetry. Immobilization slightly affects the reduction potential of MC-VI, which under these conditions electrocatalytically turns over molecular oxygen. This work sets the premise for the exploitation of totally synthetic mimochrome-modified electrode surfaces for clinical and pharmaceutical biosensing.
