In this work we report the application of electroreflectance (ER) spectroscopy for the study of the redox reaction of the nonheme protein azurin, Azurin was irreversibly adsorbed on a polycrystalline gold surface modified with a hexanethiol layer. Surface-enhanced resonant Raman spectroscopy (SERRS) demonstrated that the immobilized azurin’s copper site remained intact upon adsorption and that it underwent reversible reduction-oxidation, Cyclic voltammetry (CV) data showed that the peak current of the oxidation (or reduction) wave depended linearly on the sweep rate as appropriate for an immobilized species. The formal potential of the adsorbed azurin was 95 +/- 8 mV vs Ag/AgCl electrode, nearly identical to the earlier observed value of the native azurin in solution. All measurements were analyzed in the context of Marcus theory of electron transfer, The separation of the reduction-oxidation peaks in the CV data gave an estimate of the electron transfer (ET) rate in the range from 4 to 12 s(-1). ER, with light of wavelength of 640 nm, yielded a strong signal at the same potential as the midpotential determined in CV, The frequency dependence of the ER response was consistent with an ET rate of 150 to 200 s(-1). Electrochemical impedance measurements indicated an ET rate of the order of 300 s(-1). The disparity between the ET rates measured with CV and ER suggests that ET may not be a single-step process. The results also point to the importance of hydrophobic interactions in adsorption and redox transformations of azurin.
