Direct bioelectrocatalysis applied in biosensors, biofuel cells, and bioelectrosynthesis is based on an efficient electron transfer between enzymes and electrodes in the absence of redox mediators. Some oxidoreductases are capable of direct electron transfer (DET), while others achieve the enzyme to electrode electron transfer (ET) by employing an electron-transferring domain. Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is the most-studied multidomain bioelectrocatalyst and features a catalytic flavodehydrogenase domain and a mobile, electron-transferring cytochrome domain connected by a flexible linker. The ET to the physiological redox partner lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase or, ex vivo, electrodes depends on the flexibility of the electron transferring domain and its connecting linker, but the regulatory mechanism is little understood. Studying the linker sequences of currently characterized CDH classes we observed that the inner, mobile linker sequence is flanked by two outer linker regions that are in close contact with the adjacent domain. A function-based definition of the linker region in CDH is proposed and has been verified by rationally designed variants of Neurospora crassa CDH. The effect of linker length and its domain attachment on electron transfer rates has been determined by biochemical and electrochemical methods, while distances between the domains of CDH variants were computed. This study elucidates the regulatory mechanism of the interdomain linker on electron transfer by determining the minimum linker length, observing the effects of elongated linkers, and testing the covalent stabilization of a linker part to the flavodehydrogenase domain. The evolutionary guided, rational design of the interdomain linker provides a strategy to optimize electron transfer rates in multidomain enzymes and maximize their bioelectrocatalytic performance.

Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is applied as a bioelectrocatalyst in biosensors because its mobile cytochrome domain is capable of direct electron transfer. This study investigates the electron transfer mechanism of CDH molecules embedded in the polycation polyethyleneimine (PEI), which has been reported as a current‐boosting component of CDH‐based biosensors. By immobilizing different concentrations of CDH and its isolated cytochrome domain in PEI films, we found that increasing concentrations of cytochrome enhanced the film conductivity (up to 251±8 mS cm−1) through improved electron transfer between the protein redox centers. The increased electrical conductivity of the film contacts CDH molecules at a greater distance from the electrode. The cross‐linker poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether improves the packing and contacting of the cytochrome domains, whereas glutaraldehyde reduces the current obtained. Deglycosylation of CDH enhances the conductivity of enzyme‐polymer films by up to 34 %, implying a higher number of productive electron‐hopping events between cytochrome domains due to enhanced mobility or reduced shielding. By balancing negative charges on the CDH surface at neutral and alkaline pH, PEI increases the interdomain electron transfer and the electrical film conductivity. The resulting increased current output is relevant for in vivo bioanalytical applications.
