Electrochemically induced dimerization of lipophilic redox proteins: theoretical insights in protein-film square-wave voltammetry

Electrochemically induced protein dimerization often happens when two electrochemically generated radicals or other charged species come into intimate contact. In such an event, dimers might be created due to hydrogen bonding because of interactions uncoupled free electrons in both proteins. The process is triggered by the applied potential difference that affects amount monomeric species. case lipophilic redox proteins, protein-film voltammetry a technique first choice can provide insight mechanistic pathway and help get access kinetic thermodynamic parameters related process. this work, we for time square-wave study theoretically strongly adsorbed While important hints are given recognize specific mechanism voltammetry, also propose methodologies physical relevant mechanism.
