Integration of redox enzymes with an electrode support and formation of an electrical contact between the biocatalysts and the electrode is the fundamental subject of bioelectronics and optobioelectronics. This review addresses the recent advances and the scientific progress in electrically contacted, layered enzyme electrodes, and discusses the future applications of the systems in various bioelectronic devices, for example, amperometric biosensors, sensoric arrays, logic gates, and optical memories. This review presents the methods for the immobilization of redox enzymes on electrodes and discusses the covalent linkage of proteins, the use of supramolecular affinity complexes, and the reconstitution of apo-redox enzymes for the nanoengineering of electrodes with protein monolayers of electrodes with protein monolayers and multilayers. Electrical contact in the layered enzyme electrode is achieved by the application of diffusional electron mediators, such as ferrocene derivatives, ferricyanide, quinones, and bipyridinium salts. Covalent tethering of electron relay units to layered enzyme electrodes, the cross-linking of affinity complexes formed between redox proteins and electrodes functionalized with relay-cofactor units, or surface reconstitution of apo-enzymes on relay-cofactor-functionalized electrodes yield bioelectrocatalytic electrodes. The application of the functionalized electrodes as biosensor devices is addressed and further application of electrically “wired” enzymes as catalytic interfaces in biofuel cells is discussed. The organization of sensor arrays, self-calibrated biosensors, or gated bioelectronic devices requires the microstructuring of biomaterials on solid supports in the form of ordered micro-patterns. For example, light-sensitive layers composed of azides, benzophenone, or diazine derivatives associated with solid supports can be irradiated through masks to enable the patterned covalent linkage of biomaterials to surfaces. Alternatively, patterning of biomaterials can be accomplished by noncovalent interactions (such as in affinity complexes between avidin and a photolabeled biotin, or between an antibody and a photoisomerizable antigen layer) to provide a means of organizing protein microstructures on surfaces. The organization of patterned hydrophilic/hydrophobic domains on surfaces, by using photolithography, stamping, or micromachining methods, allows the selective patterning of surfaces by hydrophobic, noncovalent interactions. Photoactivated layered enzyme electrodes act as light-switchable optobioelectronic systems for the amperometric transduction of recorded photonic information. These systems can act as optical memories, biomolecular amplifiers, or logic gates. The photoswitchable enzyme electrodes are generated by the tethering of photoisomerizable groups to the protein, the reconstitution of apo-enzymes with semisynthetic photoisomerizable cofactor units, or the coupling of photoisomerizable electron relay units.
