Transmembrane proteins involved in metabolic redox reactions and photosynthesis catalyse a plethora of key energy-conversion processes and are thus of great interest for bioelectrocatalysis-based applications. The development of membrane protein modified electrodes has made it possible to efficiently exchange electrons between proteins and electrodes, allowing mechanistic studies and potentially applications in biofuels generation and energy conversion. Here, we summarise the most common electrode modification and their characterisation techniques for membrane proteins involved in biofuels conversion and semi-artificial photosynthesis. We discuss the challenges of applications of membrane protein modified electrodes for bioelectrocatalysis and comment on emerging methods and future directions, including recent advances in membrane protein reconstitution strategies and the development of microbial electrosynthesis and whole-cell semi-artificial photosynthesis.

A short procedure for the isolation of band-3 protein, the protein responsible for anion exchange in erythrocytes, in a reasonable degree of purity was developed. Using this protein preparation and a novel procedure for membrane-protein reconstitution, vesicles displaying the basic features of the anion-exchange system of the erythrocyte were obtained. The reconstitution procedure is based on slow direct removal of Triton X-100 from aqueous lipid/detergent solutions. According to the composition of the reconstitution medium, either small single-walled or large multi-walled vesicles are obtained. The procedure conserves protein properties well, as is revealed by the similarity of the rates of SO4(2-) exchange in erythrocytes and reconstituted vesicles when corrected for the relevant volumes. A number of functional features of the exchange system were studied and compared with those of the native membrane.
