Electrochemical reactions can combine with efficient biochemical reactions, as in enzymatic catalytic reactions. In the case of man-made bio-catalytic (enzymatic) electrochemical reaction systems, there are two interfaces on an electrode; a solution phase-enzyme layer interface and an enzyme layer-electrode interface. These interfaces act as a chemical reaction interface and a physicochemical reaction interface respectively. In order to prepare efficient biomolecular electrochemical devices, the molecular interfaces have to be designed as optimized physical and chemical structure. The author has studied the functional and physical structures of macromolecular interfaces in bioelectronics properties and others. The present review describes the fabrication of molecular interfaces on an electrode, using functional protein molecules in order to obtain specific bioelectronic properties.
