A novel thin film of heme proteins, including hemoglobin (Hb), myoglobin (Mb), and catalase (Cat), was successfully assembled layer by layer with polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers on different solid surfaces. At pH 7.0, protonated PAMAM possesses positive surface charges, whereas the proteins have net negative surface charges at pH above their isoelectric points. Thus, layer-by-layer {PAMAM/protein}(n) films were assembled with alternate adsorption of oppositely charged PAMAM and proteins from their aqueous solutions mainly by electrostatic interaction. The assembly process was monitored by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), UV-vis spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The growth of the protein multilayer films was regular and linear, whereas the electroactivity of the films was only extended to a few bilayers. CVs of {PAMAM/protein}(n) films showed a pair of well-defined and nearly reversible peaks characteristic of the protein heme Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couples. Although {PAMAM/Hb}(n) and {PAMAM/Mb}(n) films showed very similar properties, {PAMAM/Cat}(n) films displayed different and unique characters. The substrates with biological or environmental significance, such as oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, trichloroacetic acid, and nitrite, were catalytically reduced at {PAMAM/protein}(n) film electrodes, showing the potential applicability of the films as new types of biosensors or bioreactors based on direct electrochemistry of the proteins. Both the electrochemical and electrocatalytic activity of {PAMAM/protein}(n) films can be tailored precisely by controlling the number of bilayers or the film thickness.
