Glucose-sensitive films were prepared through the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of hemin-modified poly(ethyleneimine) (H-PEI) solution and DNA solution (containing glucose oxidase (GOx)). H-PEI/DNA + GOx multilayer films were constructed using electrostatic interactions. The (H-PEI/DNA + GOx)5 film was then partially decomposed by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The mechanism for the decomposition of the LbL film was considered to involve more reactive oxygen species (ROS) that were formed by the reaction of hemin and H2O2, which then caused nonspecific DNA cleavage. In addition, GOx present in the LbL films reacts with glucose to generate hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, decomposition of the (H-PEI/DNA + GOx)5 film was observed when the thin film was immersed in a glucose solution. (H-PEI/DNA + GOx)5 films exposed to a glucose solution for periods of 24, 48 72, and 96 h indicated that the decomposition of the film increased with the time to 9.97%, 16.3%, 23.1%, and 30.5%, respectively. The rate of LbL film decomposition increased with the glucose concentration. At pH and ionic strengths close to physiological conditions, it was possible to slowly decompose the LbL film at low glucose concentrations of 1–10 mM.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-sensitive layer-by-layer films were prepared based on combining phenyl boronic acid (PBA)-modified poly(allylamine) (PAH) with shikimic acid (SA)-modified-PAH through boronate ester bonds. These PBA-PAH/SA-PAH multilayer films could be prepared in aqueous solutions at pH 7.4 and 9.0 in the presence of NaCl. It is believed that the electrostatic repulsion between the SA-PAH and PBA-PAH was diminished and the formation of ester bonds between the SA and PBA was promoted in the presence of NaCl. These films readily decomposed in the presence of H2O2 because the boronate ester bonds were cleaved by an oxidation reaction. In addition, SA-PAH/PBA-PAH multilayer films combined with glucose oxidase (GOx) were decomposed in the presence of glucose because GOx catalyzes the oxidation of D-glucose to generate H2O2. The surfaces of CaCO3 microparticles were coated with PAH/GOx/(SA-PAH/PBA-PAH)5 films that absorbed insulin. A 1 mg quantity of these particles released up to 10 μg insulin in the presence 10 mM glucose under physiological conditions.

Thin graphene oxide (GO) film layers are being widely used as sensing layers in different types of electrical and optical sensor devices. GO layers are particularly popular because of their tuned interface reflectivity. The stability of GO layers is fundamental for sensor device reliability, particularly in complex aqueous environments such as wastewater. In this work, the stability of GO layers in layer-by-layer (LbL) films of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and GO was investigated. The results led to the following conclusions: PEI/GO films grow linearly with the number of bilayers as long as the adsorption time is kept constant; the adsorption kinetics of a GO layer follow the behavior of the adsorption of polyelectrolytes; and the interaction associated with the growth of these films is of the ionic type since the desorption activation energy has a value of 119 ± 17 kJ/mol. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that PEI/GO films are suitable for application in optical fiber sensor devices; most importantly, an optical fiber-based interrogation setup can easily be adapted to investigate in situ desorption via a thermally stimulated process. In addition, it is possible to draw inferences about film stability in solution in a fast, reliable way when compared with the traditional ones.

Polymersomes are robust vesicles made from di-block co-polymers. We have engineered a two step enzymatic cascade to trigger the release of contents from polymersomes, in which extravesicular glucose oxidase makes hydrogen peroxide, when then penetrates the membrane and is converted by entrapped catalase to oxygen, leading to vesicle failure.

AbstractCommercially available and synthesized silica particles were fluorescently labeled with FITC and modified to get a wide variety of particle systems with defined size and surface charge. By a variation of reaction conditions particles with diameters of 10 and 80 nm determined with TEM and with zetapotentials between -50 to +30 mV under physiological conditions (pH: 7.4, PBS-buffer) were available.A further molecular shell consisiting of avidin was obtained by binding the molecules to negatively charged particle surfaces through electrostatic interactions. The amount of avidin coupled to the silica particles was 1.7 μg per mg particle. Starting with particles with an hydrodynamic diameter determined with PCS of 260 nm, the size increased to 500 nm, while the zeta potential was altered to -8 mV under physiological conditions.Biotinylated wheat germ agglutinin (bio-WGA) can be bonded to such particles through avidin / biotin complex formation. Up to 2.8 μg lectin per mg particles could be coupled to the particle surface. This leads to a further increase of hydrodynamic diameter to 650 nm. It could be shown by hemagglutination test, that the bonded lectin is still active. No toxic effects of the silica particles were found at 1 wt.-% particle concentration with various cell types (Caco-2, L132). The binding of lectin-particle complexes to cells was increased by a factor of 4.4 in comparison to uncoated particles.In addition it was found that WGA can directly be coupled to the particle surface. An amount of 1.8 μg Lectin per mg particle was determined. The hydrodynamic diameter increases from 260 nm to 432 rm, while a zetapotential of-28 mV was found under physiological conditions.It could be shown, that negatively charged silica nanoparticles are suitable systems to couple various biomolecules retaining their biological function.
