Nitrate reductase (NR) from the fungus Neurospora crassa is a complex homodimeric metallo-flavoenzyme, where each protomer contains three distinct domains; the catalytically active terminal molybdopterin cofactor, a central heme-containing domain, and an FAD domain which binds with the natural electron donor NADPH. Here, we demonstrate the catalytic voltammetry of variants of N. crassa NRs on a modified Au electrode with the electrochemically reduced forms of benzyl viologen (BV2+) and anthraquinone sulfonate (AQS-) acting as artificial electron donors. The biopolymer chitosan used to entrap NR on the electrode non-covalently and the enzyme film was both stable and highly active. Electrochemistry was conducted on two distinct forms; one lacking the FAD cofactor and the other lacking both the FAD and heme cofactors. While both enzymes showed catalytic nitrate reductase activity, removal of the heme cofactor resulted in a more significant effect on the rate of nitrate reduction. Electrochemical simulation was carried out to enable kinetic characterisation of both the NR:nitrate and NR:mediator reactions.
