The oxygen anti-interference membrane composed of GOD, Cat and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel, together with glucose concentration, was optimized until the O-2 reduction current of a Clark-type electrode was completely suppressed for at least 3 h. For the preparation of the TMAO biosensor, Escherichia coli TorA was purified under anaerobic conditions and immobilized on the surface of a carbon electrode and covered by the optimized O-2 scavenging membrane. The TMAO sensor operates at a potential of -0.8 V vs. Ag/AgCl (1 M KCl), where the reduction of methylviologen (MV) is recorded. The sensor signal depends linearly on TMAO concentrations between 2 mu M and 15 mM, with a sensitivity of 2.75 +/- 1.7 mu A/mM. The developed biosensor is characterized by a response time of about 33 s and an operational stability over 3 weeks. Furthermore, measurements of TMAO concentration were performed in 10\% human serum, where the lowest detectable concentration is of 10 mu M TMAO.}, language = {en} } @article{OthmanWollenberger2020, author = {Othman, Abdelmageed M. and Wollenberger, Ulla}, title = {Amperometric biosensor based on coupling aminated laccase to functionalized carbon nanotubes for phenolics detection}, series = {International journal of biological macromolecules}, volume = {153}, journal = {International journal of biological macromolecules}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {New York, NY [u.a.]}, issn = {0141-8130}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.03.049}, pages = {855 -- 864}, year = {2020}, abstract = {A biosensor for phenolic compounds based on a chemically modified laccase from Coriolus hirsula immobilized on functionalized screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) was achieved.

Im Rahmen des Forschungsgebietes der Synthetischen Biologie soll unter anderem die B{\"a}ckerhefe als innovatives Werkzeug f{\"u}r die biobasierte Herstellung verschiedenster Substanzen etabliert werden.

Als Basis f{\"u}r die Entwicklung der responsiven Grenzfl{\"a}che dienten drei unterschiedliche Copolymere (Polymere I, II und III) aus der Gruppe der thermisch schaltbaren Poly(oligo(ethylenglykol)methacrylate). Die turbidimetrischen Messungen der Copolymere in L{\"o}sungen haben gezeigt, dass der Tr{\"u}bungspunkt vom pH-Wert, der Gegenwart von Salzen sowie von der Ionenst{\"a}rke der L{\"o}sung abh{\"a}ngig ist. Nach der Charakterisierung der Polymere in L{\"o}sung wurden Experimente der kovalenten Kopplung der Polymere I bis III an die Oberfl{\"a}che der Gold-Elektroden durchgef{\"u}hrt. W{\"a}hrend bei Polymeren I und II die Ankopplung auf einer Amidverbr{\"u}ckung basierte, wurde bei Polymer III als alternative Methode zur Immobilisierung eine photoinduzierte Anbindung unter gleichzeitiger Vernetzung gew{\"a}hlt. Der Nachweis der erfolgreichen Ankopplung erfolgte bei allen Polymeren elektrochemisch mittels Cyclovoltammetrie und Impedanzspektroskopie in K3/4[Fe(CN)6]-L{\"o}sungen. Wie die Ellipsometrie-Messungen zeigten, waren die erhaltenen Polymer-Filme unterschiedlich dick. Die Ankopplung {\"u}ber Amidverbr{\"u}ckung lieferte d{\"u}nne Filme (10 - 15 nm), w{\"a}hrend der photovernetzte Film deutlich dicker war (70-80 nm) und die darunter liegende Oberfl{\"a}che relativ gut isolierte. Elektrochemische Temperaturexperimente an Polymer-modifizierten Oberfl{\"a}chen in L{\"o}sungen in Gegenwart von K3/4[Fe(CN)6] zeigten, dass auch die immobilisierten Polymere I bis III responsives Temperaturverhalten zeigen. Bei Elektroden mit den immobilisierten Polymeren I und II ist der Temperaturverlauf der Parameterwerte diskontinuierlich - ab einem kritischen Punkt (37 °C f{\"u}r Polymer I und 45 °C f{\"u}r Polymer II) wird zun{\"a}chst langsame Zunahme der Peakstr{\"o}me wird deutlich schneller. Das Temperaturverhalten von Polymer III ist dagegen bis 50 °C kontinuierlich, der Peakstrom sinkt hier durchgehend. Weiterhin wurde mit den auf Polymeren II und III basierten Elektroden deren Anwendung als responsive Matrix f{\"u}r Bioerkennungsreaktionen untersucht. Es wurde die Ankopplung von kleinen Biorezeptoren, TAG-Peptiden, an Polymer II- und Polymer III-modifizierten Elektroden durchgef{\"u}hrt. Das hydrophile FLAG-TAG-Peptid ver{\"a}ndert das Temperaturverhalten des Polymer II-Films unwesentlich, da es die Hydrophilie des Netzwerkes nicht beeinflusst. Weiterhin wurde der Effekt der Ankopplung der ANTI-FLAG-TAG-Antik{\"o}rper an FLAG-TAG-modifizierte Polymer II-Filme untersucht. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Antik{\"o}rper spezifisch an FLAG-TAG-modifiziertes Polymer II binden. Es wurde keine unspezifische Anbindung von ANTI-FLAG-TAG an Polymer II beobachtet. Die Temperaturexperimente haben gezeigt, dass die thermische Restrukturierung des Polymer II-FLAG-TAG-Filmes auch nach der Antik{\"o}rper-Ankopplung noch stattfindet. Der Einfluss der ANTI-FLAG-TAG-Ankopplung ist gering, da der Unterschied in der Hydrophilie zwischen Polymer II und FLAG-TAG bzw. ANTI-FLAG-TAG zu gering ist. F{\"u}r die Untersuchungen mit Polymer III-Elektroden wurde neben dem hydrophilen FLAG-TAG-Peptid das deutlich hydrophobere HA-TAG-Peptid ausgew{\"a}hlt. Wie im Falle der Polymer II Elektrode beeinflusst das gekoppelte FLAG-TAG-Peptid das Temperaturverhalten des Polymer III-Netzwerkes nur geringf{\"u}gig. Die gemessenen Stromwerte sind geringer als bei der Polymer III-Elektrode. Das Temperaturverhalten der FLAG-TAG-Elektrode {\"a}hnelt dem der reinen Polymer III-Elektrode - die Stromwerte sinken kontinuierlich bis die Temperatur von ca. 40 °C erreicht ist, bei der ein Plateau beobachtet wird. Offensichtlich ver{\"a}ndert FLAG-TAG auch in diesem Fall nicht wesentlich die Hydrophilie des Polymer III-Netzwerkes. Das an Polymer III-Elektroden gekoppelte hydrophobe HA-TAG-Peptid beeinflusst dagegen im starken Maße den Quellzustand des Netzwerkes. Die Str{\"o}me f{\"u}r die HA-TAG-Elektroden sind deutlich geringer als die f{\"u}r die FLAG-TAG-Polymer III-Elektroden, was auf geringeren Wassergehalt und dickeren Film zur{\"u}ckzuf{\"u}hren ist. Bereits ab 30 °C erfolgt der Anstieg von Stromwerten, der bei Polymer III- bzw. bei Polymer III-FLAG-TAG-Elektroden nicht beobachtet werden kann. Das gekoppelte hydrophobe HA-TAG-Peptid verdr{\"a}ngt Wasser aus dem Polymer III-Netzwerk, was in der Stauchung des Films bereits bei Raumtemperatur resultiert. Dies f{\"u}hrt dazu, dass der Film im Laufe des Temperaturanstieges kaum noch komprimiert. Die Stromwerte steigen in diesem Fall entsprechend des Anstiegs der temperaturabh{\"a}ngigen Diffusion des Redoxpaares. Diese Untersuchungen zeigen, dass das HA-TAG-Peptid als Ankermolek{\"u}l deutlich besser f{\"u}r eine potentielle Verwendung der Polymer III-Filme f{\"u}r sensorische Zwecke geeignet ist, da es sich deutlich in der Hydrophilie von Polymer III unterscheidet.}, language = {de} } @article{CywinskiHammannHuehnetal.2014, author = {Cywinski, Piotr J. and Hammann, Tommy and Huehn, Dominik and Parak, Wolfgang J. and Hildebrandt, Niko and L{\"o}hmannsr{\"o}ben, Hans-Gerd}, title = {Europium-quantum dot nanobioconjugates as luminescent probes for time-gated biosensing}, series = {Journal of biomedical optics}, volume = {19}, journal = {Journal of biomedical optics}, number = {10}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham}, issn = {1083-3668}, doi = {10.1117/1.JBO.19.10.101506}, pages = {8}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Nanobioconjugates have been synthesized using cadmium selenide quantum dots (QDs), europium complexes (EuCs), and biotin. In those conjugates, long-lived photoluminescence (PL) is provided by the europium complexes, which efficiently transfer energy via Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) to the QDs in close spatial proximity. As a result, the conjugates have a PL emission spectrum characteristic for QDs combined with the long PL decay time characteristic for EuCs. The nanobioconjugates synthesis strategy and photo-physical properties are described as well as their performance in a time-resolved streptavidin-biotin PL assay. In order to prepare the QD-EuC-biotin conjugates, first an amphiphilic polymer has been functionalized with the EuC and biotin. Then, the polymer has been brought onto the surface of the QDs (either QD655 or QD705) to provide functionality and to make the QDs water dispersible. Due to a short distance between EuC and QD, an efficient FRET can be observed. Additionally, the QD-EuC-biotin conjugates' functionality has been demonstrated in a PL assay yielding good signal discrimination, both from autofluorescence and directly excited QDs.
