Abstract

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was applied to investigate the adsorption of concanavalin A on glassy carbon and platinum electrodes. A redox probe, K4Fe(CN)6/K3Fe(CN)6, was used to yield a well defined charge transfer resistance across the electrode/solution interface. Adsorption on glassy carbon electrode was a diffusion controlled process during its initial stages. From the time dependence of the electrode coverage, by means of a simple rate law and the Stoke-Einstein equation, it was possible to estimate a protein effective radius of 3.7 nm and to estimate the protein monolayer coverage of 2 mg m
