An aqueous mixture of chloroplasts, hydrogenase and an electron transfer catalyst on illumination liberates H 2 , the source of the H atoms being water. The rate and duration of H 2 production from such a system depends on the stability of chloroplast and hydrogenase activities in light and oxygen. Both chloroplasts and hydrogenases can be stabilized to a certain degree by immobilization in gels or by incubation in bovine serum albumin. Natural electron carriers of hydrogenases are ferredoxin, cytochrome c 3 and NAD. Viologen dyes and synthetic iron-sulphur particles (Jeevanu) can substitute for the biological carriers. Methyl viologen, photoreduced in the presence of chloroplasts, can liberate H 2 in combination with Pt (Adam’s catalyst). An aqueous solution of proflavine can be photoreduced in the presence of organic electron donors such as EDTA, cysteine, dithiothreitol, etc.; the reduced proflavine can subsequently liberate H 2 with MV-Pt, MV-hydrogenase, ferredoxin-hydrogenase or cytochrome-hydrogenase systems.

<p>Cells modulate their homeostasis through the control of redox reactions via transmembrane electron transport systems. These are largely mediated via oxidoreductase enzymes. Their use in biology has been linked to a host of systems including reprogramming for energy requirements in cancer. Consequently, our ability to modulate membrane redox systems may give rise to opportunities to modulate underlying biology. The current work aimed to develop a wireless bipolar electrochemical approach to form on-demand electron transfer across biological membranes. To achieve this goal, we show that using membrane inserted carbon nanotube porins that can act as bipolar nanoelectrodes, we could control electron flow with externally applied electric fields across membranes. Before this work, bipolar electrochemistry has been thought to require high applied voltages not compatible with biological systems. We show that bipolar electrochemical reaction via gold reduction at the nanotubes could be modulated at low cell-friendly voltages, providing an opportunity to use bipolar electrodes to control electron flux across membranes. Our observations present a new opportunity to use bipolar electrodes to alter cell behavior via wireless control of membrane electron transfer.</p>
