that govern electrocatalytic reactions in nanobiosystems as well as the synergistic behavior between enzymes and nanosized materials are still in their infancy.
Therefore, a lot of effort should be delivered to shed light on the underlying biochemistry of protein-based nanoelectrocatalysts. We envision that this upcoming
