The immobilization of cytochrome c (Cyt‐c) in ordered mesoporous niobium oxide thin films is investigated for the first time. The direct electrochemical behavior of Cyt‐c assembled onto the inorganic matrix (see Figure) and the electrocatalytic properties of this assembly are studied. The results open a new doorway for the application of niobium oxides as bioanalytical devices.
