The interfacing of nanostructured semiconductor photoelectrodes with redox proteins is an innovative approach to the development of artificial photosynthetic systems. In this paper, we have investigated the photoinduced electron-transfer reactions of zinc-substituted cytochrome c, ZnCyt-c, immobilized on mesoporous, nanocrystalline metal oxide electrodes. Efficient electron injection from the triplet state of ZnCyt-c is observed into TiO2 electrodes (t(50%) similar to 100 mu s) resulting in a long-lived charge-separated state (lifetime of up to 0.4 s). Further studies were undertaken as a function of electrolyte pH and metal oxide employed. Optimum yield of a long-lived charge-separated state was observed employing TiO2 electrodes at pH 5, consistent with our previous studies of analogous dye-sensitized metal oxide electrodes. The addition of EDTA as a sacrificial electron donor to the electrolyte resulted in efficient photogeneration of molecular hydrogen, with a quantum yield per one absorbed photon of 10 +/- 5%.
