Electrochemical origin of hysteresis in the electron-transfer reactions of adsorbed proteins: Contrasting behavior of the "blue" copper protein, azurin, adsorbed on pyrolytic graphite and modified gold electrodes

Azurin and other small redox proteins exhibit fast electron transfer when adsorbed on a pyrolytic graphite "edge" electrode, but close examination reveals unusual electrochemical behavior that is not predicted by simple models. Cyclic voltammetry over a wide range of scan rates (up to 1000...
