A stable electrode for high-potential, electrocatalytic O2 reduction based on rational attachment of a blue copper oxidase to a graphite surface

Christopher F. Blanford, Rachel S. Heath and Fraser A. Armstrong

Attachment of substrate-like anthracene based units to the surface of pyrolytic graphite greatly enhances the adsorption of high-potential fungal laccases, blue Cu enzymes that catalyse the four-electron reduction of O2, providing a stable cathode for enzymatic biological fuel cells and electrochemical studies.
