Generation of functionally active biomolecular monolayers is important in both analytical science and biophysical analyses. Our ability to monitor the redox-active state of immobilized proteins or enzymes at a molecular level, from which stochastic and surface-induced variations would be apparent, is impeded by comparatively slow electron-transfer kinetics and associated signal: noise difficulties. We demonstrate herein that by covalently tethering an appropriate dye to the copper protein azurin a highly oxidation-state-sensitive FRET process can be established which enables redox switching to be optically monitored at protein levels down to the zeptomolar limit. The surface-potential-induced cycling of emission enables the redox potential of clusters of a few hundred molecules to be determined.
