This practical exercise demonstrates electrochemical analysis of cytochrome c in undergraduates, suggesting effective hands-on learning.

The aim is to teach undergraduate students direct electrochemical analysis using cytochrome c as a case study.
Students purify cytochrome c containing a redox-active impurity.
Gold electrodes with self-assembled monolayers are prepared to interact with the protein.
Students use a dialysis device to minimize protein solution requirements.
Electrochemical analysis is conducted to monitor electron exchange.
Voltammetric data is analyzed to determine reduction potentials.
Students successfully measure reduction potentials of cytochrome c.
Electrochemical characteristics are determined accurately through student analysis.
The exercise engages students in hands-on learning with real laboratory techniques.
