An imidazole modified silver electrode is prepared by immersing the substrate silver electrode in a 2% imidazole solution of ethanol at 50°C for 10 min. The modified electrode is men swept in a cytochrome c solution and the modified layer takes off because the modified electrode is very unstable. Although the amount of the silver‐imidazole complex is very small compared with the amount of cytochrome c in the protein solution, it greatly facilitates redo reactions involving the biomacromolecules.
