Electron transfer between two heme proteins can be readily observed if one of the proteins is immobilized on an electrode. The signal transduction following the molecular recognition occurs at the phase interface, as it does in nature, and can be directly monitored by cyclic voltammetry. The picture shows schematically the course of the reaction for the example of immobilized cytochromec.
