Redox proteins and enzymes can be studied using electrochemistry and applied in bio‐electronic technologies. The ability to “wire” these biomolecules to conducting surfaces underpins such work. This Review summarizes different approaches that can be used to achieve a stable and electrically connected configuration of protein or enzyme onto different solid substrates. Insight is provided into the range of electrode materials which can be utilized and the different covalent and non‐covalent strategies which enable stabilization of biomolecule configurations that enable direct protein‐to‐surface electron transfer.
