Mixed two‐component monolayers on glassy carbon are prepared by electrochemical oxidation of N ‐(2‐aminoethyl)acetamide and mono‐ N ‐Boc‐hexamethylenediamine in mixed solution. Subsequent N ‐deprotection, amide coupling and solid‐phase synthetic steps lead to electrode‐surface functionalisation with maleimide, with controlled partial coverage of this cysteine‐binding group at appropriate dilution for covalent immobilisation of a model redox‐active protein, cytochrome c , with high coverage (≈7.5 pmol cm −2 ).
