We present a compact microfluidic cell culture and electrochemical analysis platform with in-built fluid handling and detection, enabling complete cell based assays comprising on-line electrode cleaning, sterilization, surface functionalization, cell seeding, cultivation and electrochemical real-time monitoring of cellular dynamics. To demonstrate the versatility and multifunctionality of the platform, we explored amperometric monitoring of intracellular redox activity in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and detection of exocytotically released dopamine from rat pheochromocytoma cells (PC12). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used in both applications for monitoring cell sedimentation and adhesion as well as proliferation in the case of PC12 cells. The influence of flow rate on the signal amplitude in the detection of redox metabolism as well as the effect of mechanical stimulation on dopamine release were demonstrated using the programmable fluid handling capability. The here presented platform is aimed at applications utilizing cell based assays, ranging from e.g. monitoring of drug effects in pharmacological studies, characterization of neural stem cell differentiation, and screening of genetically modified microorganisms to environmental monitoring.}, language = {en} } @article{ZengPankratovFalketal.2015, author = {Zeng, Ting and Pankratov, Dmitry and Falk, Magnus and Leimk{\"u}hler, Silke and Shleev, Sergey and Wollenberger, Ursula}, title = {Miniature direct electron transfer based sulphite/oxygen enzymatic fuel cells}, series = {Biosensors and bioelectronics : the principal international journal devoted to research, design development and application of biosensors and bioelectronics}, volume = {66}, journal = {Biosensors and bioelectronics : the principal international journal devoted to research, design development and application of biosensors and bioelectronics}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0956-5663}, doi = {10.1016/j.bios.2014.10.080}, pages = {39 -- 42}, year = {2015}, abstract = {A direct electron transfer (DET) based sulphite/oxygen biofuel cell is reported that utilises human sulphite oxidase (hSOx) and Myrothecium verrucaria bilirubin oxidase (MvBOx) and nanostructured gold electrodes.

Investigation of electron-transfer reactions in NOS would contribute to a better understanding of the nitric oxide (NO) synthesis mechanism. Herein, we describe an electrochemically driven catalytic strategy, using a nanocomposite that consisted of the oxygenase domain of neuronal NOS (D290nNOSoxy), indium tin oxide (ITO) nanopartides and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Fast direct electron transfer between electrodes and D290nNOSoxy was observed with the heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (k(er)) of 154.8 +/- 0.1 s(-1) at the scan rate of 5 V s(-1). Moreover, the substrate IV-hydroxy-L-arginine (NHA) was used to prove the concept of electrochemically driven biocatalysis of D290nNOSoxy. In the presence of the oxygen cosubstrate and tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) cofactor, the addition of NHA caused the decreases of both oxidation current at + 0.1 V and reduction current at potentials ranging from -0.149 V to -0.549 V vs Ag/AgCl. Thereafter, a series of control experiments such as in the absence of BH4 or D290nNOSoxy were performed. All the results demonstrated that D290nNOSoxy biocatalysis was successfully driven by electrodes in the presence of BH4 and oxygen.

Two different pH optima were found for the reaction in acidic and neutral solutions. When cyt c was adsorbed on an electrode surface while the enzyme remained in solution, ET proceeded efficiently in media of neutral pH. Interprotein ET was also observed in acidic media; however, it appeared to be less efficient. These findings suggest that two different ET pathways between the enzyme and cyt c may occur. Moreover, cyt c and FDH were immobilized in multiple layers on an electrode surface by means of another biomacromolecule: DNA (double stranded) using the layer -by -layer technique. The biprotein multilayer architecture showed a catalytic response in dependence on the fructose concentration, indicating that the ET reaction between both proteins is feasible even in the immobilized state.

The electrode polarized at -0.1 V (vs. Ag vertical bar AgCl 1M KCl) permits minimizing the influence of interfering substances, since these compounds can be unspecific oxidized at higher potentials.

The biocatalyst was immobilized in this low-potential redox polymer on a carbon electrode. Upon the addition of sulfite to the immobilized separate Moco domain, the generation of a significant catalytic current demonstrated that the catalytic center is effectively wired and active.

This is the first report on a catalytically active wired molybdenum cofactor domain. The formal potential of this electrochemical mediator is between the potentials of the two cofactors of hSO, and as hSO can occupy several conformations in the polymer matrix, it is imaginable that electron transfer from the catalytic site to the electrode through the osmium center occurs for the hSO molecules in which the Moco domain is sufficiently accessible.

The redox properties and catalytic activity of the entire enzyme were studied by surface enhanced resonance Raman (SERR) spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry (CV) and compared to the isolated heme domain when possible. It is shown that heterogeneous electron transfer and catalytic activity of hSO sensitively depend on the local environment of the enzyme. Increasing the ionic strength of the buffer solution leads to an increase of the heterogeneous electron transfer rate from 17 s(-1) to 440 s(- 1) for hSO as determined by SERR spectroscopy. CV measurements demonstrate an increase of the apparent turnover rate for the immobilised hSO from 0.85 s(-1) in 100 mM buffer to 5.26 s(-1) in 750 mM buffer. We suggest that both effects originate from the increased mobility of the surface-bound enzyme with increasing ionic strength. In agreement with surface potential calculations we propose that at high ionic strength the enzyme is immobilised via the dimerisation domain to the SAM surface. The flexible loop region connecting the Moco and the Cyt b5 domain allows alternating contact with the Moco interaction site and the SAM surface, thereby promoting the sequential intramolecular and heterogeneous electron transfer from Moco via Cyt b5 to the electrode. At lower ionic strength, the contact time of the Cyt b5 domain with the SAM surface is longer, corresponding to a slower overall electron transfer process.}, language = {en} } @article{SchellerYarmanBachmannetal.2014, author = {Scheller, Frieder W. and Yarman, Aysu and Bachmann, Till and Hirsch, Thomas and Kubick, Stefan and Renneberg, Reinhard and Schumacher, Soeren and Wollenberger, Ursula and Teller, Carsten and Bier, Frank Fabian}, title = {Future of biosensors: a personal view}, series = {Advances in biochemical engineering, biotechnology}, volume = {140}, journal = {Advances in biochemical engineering, biotechnology}, editor = {Gu, MB and Kim, HS}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-642-54143-8; 978-3-642-54142-1}, issn = {0724-6145}, doi = {10.1007/10_2013_251}, pages = {1 -- 28}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Biosensors representing the technological counterpart of living senses have found routine application in amperometric enzyme electrodes for decentralized blood glucose measurement, interaction analysis by surface plasmon resonance in drug development, and to some extent DNA chips for expression analysis and enzyme polymorphisms.

The dream of the "100-dollar' personal genome may come true in the next few years provided that the technological hurdles of nanopore technology or of polymerase-based single molecule sequencing can be overcome. Tailor-made recognition elements for biosensors including membrane-bound enzymes and receptors will be prepared by cell-free protein synthesis. As alternatives for biological recognition elements, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been created. They have the potential to substitute antibodies in biosensors and biochips for the measurement of low-molecular-weight substances, proteins, viruses, and living cells.

The total hemoglobin (Hb) content is monitored with a mass-sensitive quartz crystal modified with surfactants, and the glycated fraction of the immobilized Hb is determined by subsequent voltarnmetric measurement of the coupled ferroceneboronic acid. Different modifications of the sensor were tested for their hemoglobin binding ability. Deoxycholate (DOCA) was found to be the most suitable among the examined modifiers. Piezoelectric quartz crystals with gold electrodes were modified with DOCA by covalent binding to a pre-formatted 4-aminothiophenol monolayer. The properties of the Hb binding to DOCA and the pH effect on this interaction were studied. In the proposed assay for glycated hemoglobin at first an Hb sample is incubated with ferroceneboronic acid (FcBA), which binds to the fructosyl residue of the glycated Hb. Then this preincubated Hb sample is allowed to interact with the DOCA-modified piezoelectric quartz crystal. The binding is monitored by quartz crystal nanobalance QCN). The amount of FcBA present on the sensor surface is determined by square wave voltammetry. The binding of FcBA results in well-defined peaks with an EO' of +200 mV versus Ag/AgC1 (1 M KC1). The peak height depends on the degree of glycated Hb in the sample ranging from 0\% to 20\% of total Hb. The regeneration of the sensing surface is achieved by pepsin digestion of the deposited Hb.
