Electron-transfer kinetics of the thermophilic protein Plastocyanin from Phormidium laminosum adsorbed on 1,ω-alkanedithiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) deposited on gold have been investigated. The standard electron-transfer rate constant has been determined as a function of electrode-protein distance and solution viscosity over a broad temperature range (0-90 °C). For either thin or thick SAMs, the electron-transfer regime remains invariant with temperature, whereas for the 1,11-undecanethiol SAM of intermediate chain length, a kinetic regime changeover from a gated or friction-controlled mechanism at low temperature (0-30 °C) to a nonadiabatic mechanism above 40 °C is observed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a thermal-induced transition between these two kinetic regimes is reported for a metalloprotein.
