Abstract: The electrochemical behaviour of bovine erythrocyte superoxide dismutase(BESOD)adsorbed On the mercury electrode surface was reported for the first time by cyclic voltammetry,direct current polarography and double potential-step chronoculoumetry without using mediator.The contribution of diffusion current predominated over adsorption current when the concentration of BESODwas more than 1.0×10-4mol/L.The experimental adsorption isothermal line was in accordance with that calculated by Langmuir equation.The equilibrium constant of adsorptin was 8.96×104 and Gibbs free energy was -28.2kJ/mol.The molecular area(18.06 nm2) of BESODobtained by the electrochemical method, is in good agreement with that(17.36 nm2determined by X-ray crystal structural analysis.
