The electrochemical behavior of three proteins fragments from the respiratory chain of the extremophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus , namely, cytochrome c(1) (Cyt-c(1)), cytochrome c(552) (Cyt-c(552)), and Cu(A), immobilized on three-dimensional gold nanoparticles electrodes was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The gold nanoparticles were modified by either dithiobissuccinimidyl propionate (DTSP) or a mixed self-assembled monolayer of 6-mercaptohexan-1-ol and hexanethiol, depending on the surface of the protein. High surface coverages with enzymes and good electron transfer rates were achieved in the case of Cyt-c(1) immobilized on DTSP-modified gold nanoparticles and Cyt-c(552) or Cu(A) immobilized on mixed SAMs-modified gold nanoparticles. Interestingly, high surface coverages with Cu(A) were also observed on DTSP-modified gold nanoparticles, but a slower electron transfer rate was determined in this case. The gold nanoparticle/protein assemblies were characterized by surface-enhanced IR spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy.

D003575 Cytochromes c1 The 30-kDa membrane-bound c-type cytochrome protein of mitochondria that functions as an electron donor to CYTOCHROME C GROUP in the mitochondrial and bacterial RESPIRATORY CHAIN. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p545) Cytochrome c1,Cytochrome c-1,Cytochrome c 1
D003576 Electron Transport Complex IV A multisubunit enzyme complex containing CYTOCHROME A GROUP; CYTOCHROME A3; two copper atoms; and 13 different protein subunits. It is the terminal oxidase complex of the RESPIRATORY CHAIN and collects electrons that are transferred from the reduced CYTOCHROME C GROUP and donates them to molecular OXYGEN, which is then reduced to water. The redox reaction is simultaneously coupled to the transport of PROTONS across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
