However, the voltammograms report on the electron transfer through a flow of electrical current such that simultaneous spectroscopy is required for chemical insights into the species involved. Mesoporous nanocrystalline SnO2 electrodes provide opportunities for such \u2018spectroelectrochemical\u2019 analyses through their high surface area and optical transparency at visible wavelengths. Here, we illustrate kinetic and mechanistic insights that may be afforded by working with such electrodes through studies of Escherichia coli NrfA, a pentahaem cytochrome with nitrite and nitric oxide reductase activities. In addition, we demonstrate that the ability to characterize electrocatalytically active protein films by MCD (magnetic circular dichroism) spectroscopy is an advance that should ultimately assist our efforts to resolve catalytic intermediates in many redox enzymes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bst0370368","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,3,24]],"date-time":"2009-03-24T09:13:48Z","timestamp":1237886028000},"page":"368-372","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Opportunities for mesoporous nanocrystalline SnO2 electrodes in kinetic and catalytic analyses of redox proteins"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Gemma\u00a0L.","family":"Kemp","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Molecular and Structural Biochemistry, School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy, University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, Norwich NR4 7TJ, U.K."},{"name":"School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, Norwich NR4 7TJ, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophie\u00a0J.","family":"Marritt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Molecular and Structural Biochemistry, School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy, University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, Norwich NR4 7TJ, U.K."},{"name":"School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, Norwich NR4 7TJ, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Xiaoe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AX, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James\u00a0R.","family":"Durrant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AX, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Myles\u00a0R.","family":"Cheesman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Molecular and Structural Biochemistry, School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy, University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, Norwich NR4 7TJ, U.K."},{"name":"School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, Norwich NR4 7TJ, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julea\u00a0N.","family":"Butt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Molecular and Structural Biochemistry, School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy, University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, Norwich NR4 7TJ, U.K."},{"name":"School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, Norwich NR4 7TJ, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021111719002524700_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"169","DOI":"10.1039\/cs9972600169","article-title":"Reactions of complex metalloproteins studied by protein-film voltammetry","volume":"26","author":"Armstrong","year":"1997","journal-title":"Chem.
