To form the PS/PAH fibers, positively charged poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) was coated on the surface of polystyrene (PS) fibers. Then, the ordered Hb‐PS/PAH film was prepared by the self‐assembly of hemoglobin (Hb) on the surface of fibers and characterized by electrochemical and spectroscopic methods. Cyclic voltammetry of the self‐assembled Hb‐PS/PAH films modified on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) displayed a quasi‐reversible electrochemical response in pH 5.0 buffers. Moreover, the Hb‐PS/PAH films also exhibited the electrocatalytic activity to the reduction of H 2 O 2 . Consequently, the Hb‐PS/PAH films are favorable for the direct electrochemistry of heme containing proteins, suggesting their potential application as the promising sensitive biosensor. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
