Abstract: The composite ordered protein film was assemblied on the surface of a gold electrode by self-assembly mono layer approach using meso 2,3 dimercaptosuccinic acid(DMSA), poly dimethyldiallylammonium chloride(PDDA) and reaction center membrane protein purified from purple bacteria(Rhodobacter sphaeroides). Square wave voltammetry(SWV) was employed to study the electrochemical behavior of the protein composite film. The reversible or quasi reversible electron transfer for redox couples therein was successfully detected. The reduction potential for each redox couple and the electrochemically driven effect was also discussed. The typical SWV-results were non linearly fitted to get the kinetic parameters for the composite protein film.
