Effects of the electrode poential on the activity of an adsorbed enzyme has been examined by using copper efflux oxidase (CueO) as a model enzyme and by monitoring direct electron transfer (DET)-type bioelectrocatalysis of oxygen reduction. CueO adsorbed on bare Au electrodes at around the point of zero charge (Epzc) shows the highest DET activity, and the activity decreases as the adsorption potential (Ead; at which the enzyme adsorbs) is far fromEpzc. We propose a model to explain the phenomena in which the electrostatic interaction between the enzyme and electrodes in the electric double layer affects the orientation and the stability of the adsorbed enzyme. The self-assembled monolayer of butanethiol on Au electrodes decreases the electric field in the outside of the inner Helmholtz plane and drastically diminishes theEaddependence of the DET activity of CueO. When CueO is adsorbed on bare Au electrodes under open circuit potential and then is held at hold potentials (Eho) more positive thanEpzc, the DET activity of the CueO rapidly decreases with the hold time. The strong electric field with positive surface charge density on the metallic electrode (σM) leads to fatal denaturation of the adsorbed CueO. Such denaturation effect is not so serious atEho<<Epzc, but the electric field with negativeσMinduces an orientation inconvenient for the DET reaction during the adsorption process. A positively charged neomycin shows a promoter ability to CueO adsorbed atEad<<Epzc. The phenomenon is also explained on the proposed model.
