Abstract The direct electrochemical response of membrane‐bound human cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) was studied on pyrolytic graphite electrodes, while encapsulated in a sol‐gel matrix. enzymatic reduction O 2 evaluated the presence and absence its electron donor partner, oxidoreductase (CPR). When used without CPR, CYP1A2 shown to be highly sensitive even residual amounts. Under aerobic conditions (air‐saturated solutions), catalytic signal attributed reaction with lost, suggesting enzyme...
