The accurate determination of analyte concentrations with selective, fast, and robust methods is the key for process control, product analysis, environmental compliance, and medical applications. Enzyme-based biosensors meet these requirements to a high degree and can be operated with simple, cost efficient, and easy to use devices. This review focuses on enzymes capable of direct electron transfer (DET) to electrodes and also the electrode materials which can enable or enhance the DET type bioelectrocatalysis. It presents amperometric biosensors for the quantification of important medical, technical, and environmental analytes and it carves out the requirements for enzymes and electrode materials in DET-based third generation biosensors. This review critically surveys enzymes and biosensors for which DET has been reported. Single- or multi-cofactor enzymes featuring copper centers, hemes, FAD, FMN, or PQQ as prosthetic groups as well as fusion enzymes are presented. Nanomaterials, nanostructured electrodes, chemical surface modifications, and protein immobilization strategies are reviewed for their ability to support direct electrochemistry of enzymes. The combination of both biosensor elements—enzymes and electrodes—is evaluated by comparison of substrate specificity, current density, sensitivity, and the range of detection.

AbstractThe irradiation (λ = 313 nm) of aqueous [Co(III)(NH3)5TSC]2+(TSC-= trans-4-stilbenecarboxylate) leads to a redox reaction with formation of Co2+ as has been shown previously. The TSC-ligand is oxidized to the radical in the primary photoreaction. At higher complex concentrations (~10-2 M) this TSC radical is oxidized to stable products (Φ = 0.09 ± 0.02) by [Co(NH3)5TSC]2+,which is reduced to Co2+ leading to release of the TSC- ligand (Φ = 0.07 ± 0.02). Co2+ is thus formed by both the secondary and the primary photo chemical reaction (Φ overall = 0.16). At low complex concentrations (< 10-4 M) in the presence of air, the primary TSC radical is scavenged by O2. Benz-aldehyde is an oxidation product. This reduces the formation of Co2+ to Φ = 0.09 ± 0.02, which is taken to be the efficiency of the primary photo chemical step. It is suggested that the photoredox reaction is initiated by an electron transfer from the first excited singlet of the TSC- ligand. As shown by sensitization experiments, the population of the lowest TSC-triplet leads to the usual trans/cis isomerization of the TSC-ligand, but not to the redox reaction.

Abstract The mechanism by which the carbonate radical anion reacts with D-glucose in alkaline aqueous solutions has been studied by means of γ-radiolysis. From the product analysis it is concluded that the reaction sequence is initiated by a one-electron transfer between the carbonate radical anion and deprotonated D-glucose. In the presence of molecular oxygen, the major, if not only products of this reaction sequence are formic acid, arabinose and gluconic acid and reaction schemes are proposed to account for the observed formation of these products.

The adsorption and the redox behaviour of thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA) and extended TBA (eTBA) were studied using atomic force microscopy and voltammetry at highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and glassy carbon. The different adsorption patterns and degree of surface coverage were correlated with the sequence base composition, presence/absence of K+, and voltammetric behaviour of TBA and eTBA. In the presence of K+, only a few single-stranded sequences present adsorption, while the majority of the molecules forms stable and rigid quadruplexes with no adsorption. Both TBA and eTBA are oxidized and the only anodic peak corresponds to guanine oxidation. Upon addition of K+ions, TBA and eTBA fold into a quadruplex, causing the decrease of guanine oxidation peak and occurrence of a new peak at a higher potential due to the oxidation of G-quartets. The higher oxidation potential of G-quartets is due to the greater difficulty of electron transfer from the inside of the quadruplex to the electrode surface than electron transfer from the more flexible single strands.
