✦ Synopsis

The electrochemistry of cytochrome c was studied at the PVP-modified gold electrode. It was found that the promoter effect is related to the amount of PVP at the gold electrode. From our results, it can be seen that the nitrogen element in the polymer is important for accelerating the electron transfer of cytochrome c.
