Redox Proteins and Bioelectrocatalysis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Enzymatic Bioelectrocatalysis

Abstract

This chapter starts by introducing the basic feature and thermodynamics of redox proteins including redox enzymes (oxidoreductases). Biochemical properties of organic and inorganic redox components in redox enzymes are detailed, and they are very important to understand bioelectrocatalysis. This chapter also introduces the basic concept of bioelectrocatalysis.
