Abstract
The direct electrochemistry of hemoglobin (Hb) immobilized on the siliceous mesostructured cellular foam (MCF) modified glassy carbon electrode (GC) was presented. Using a simple physical adsorption method, Hb was immobilized on MCF and the influences of concentration of Hb and the pH value of solution were investigated. UV-vis and FTIR spectra displayed that Hb maintained its natural structure inside the pores of MCF. The electrochemical property of Hb/MCF/GC modified electrode was studied by cyclic voltammetry. A couple of quasi-reversible redox peaks of Hb were observed on the Hb/MCF/GC electrode at about â0.396Â V and â0.321Â V in PBS (pH 7.0). The results indicated that MCF provided a favorable microenvironment for immobilization of Hb and facilitated the electron transfer between Hb and electrode surface.
