The effects of the pH value and electrode surface modification on the biocatalytic activity of the layers were studied in the presence of vanillin as the substrate. The enzyme electrodes were successfully employed as bioanodes in vanillin/O-2 biofuel cells in combination with a high potential bilirubin oxidase biocathode. Open circuit voltages of around 700 mV could be obtained in a two compartment biofuel cell setup. Moreover, the use of a rather hydrophobic polymer with a high degree of crosslinking sites ensures the formation of stable polymer/enzyme films which were successfully used as bioanode in membrane-less biofuel cells.

The enzyme has similarity to other molybdoenzymes of the xanthine oxidase family, but the catalytic behavior turned out to be very different. Under steady state conditions the turnover of PaoABC is maximal at pH 4 for the negatively charged ferricyanide and at pH 9 for a positively charged osmium complex. Stopped-flow kinetic measurements of the catalytic half reaction showed that oxidation of benzaldehyde proceeds also above pH 7. Thus, benzaldehyde oxidation can proceed under acidic and basic conditions using this enzyme, a property which has not been described before for molybdenum hydroxylases. It is also suggested that the electron transfer with artificial electron acceptors and PaoABC can proceed at different protein sites and depends on the nature of the electron acceptor in addition to the ionic strength.

The enzyme was immobilized in polyvinyl alcohol and currents were measured for aldehyde oxidation with different one and two electron mediators with the highest sensitivity for benzaldehyde in the presence of hexacyanoferrate(III). The benzaldehyde biosensor was optimized with respect to mediator concentration, enzyme loading and pH using potassium hexacyanoferrate(III). The linear measuring range is between 0.5200 mu M benzaldehyde. In correspondence with the substrate selectivity of the enzyme in solution the biosensor revealed a preference for aromatic aldehydes and less effective conversion of aliphatic aldehydes. The biosensor is oxygen independent, which is a particularly attractive feature for application. The biosensor can be applied to detect contaminations with benzaldehyde in solvents such as benzyl alcohol, where traces of benzaldehyde in benzyl alcohol down to 0.0042?\% can be detected.}, language = {en} }
