The treatment of {PAH/PAA}n layer-by-layer films with pH 2.5 solutions has a great influence on loading of myoglobin (Mb) from its pH 5.0 buffers into the films, where PAH = poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and PAA = poly(acrylic acid). Without acid treatment, the {PAH/PAA}n films assembled on pyrolytic graphite electrodes are difficult to load or "absorb" Mb from its solution into the films, and the CV response of {PAH/PAA}n-Mb films is very small. However, after {PAH/PAA}n films are immersed in pH 2.5 buffers for only several minutes, the films can load much larger amounts of Mb from its solutions, and the corresponding {PAH/PAA}n-Mb films show good and nearly reversible cyclic voltammetric response with large peak currents. The direct electrochemistry of {PAH/PAA}n-Mb films can also be used to electrochemically catalyze the reduction of oxygen and hydrogen peroxide in solution. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy results show that the permeability and porosity of {PAH/PAA}n films are significantly improved after the acid treatment, and thus beneficial for the loading of Mb from its solution.
