This sensor is based on the electropolymerization of scopoletin or o-phenylenediamine in the presence of tyrosinase from mushrooms, which has a high homology to the human enzyme. The template was removed either by treatment with proteinase Kor by alkaline treatment. The measuring signal was generated either by measuring the formation of a product by the target enzyme or by evaluation of the permeability of the redox marker ferricyanide. The o-phenylenediamine-based MIP sensor has a linear measuring range up to 50 nM of tyrosinase with a limit of detection of 3.97 nM (R 2 = 0.994) and shows good discrimination towards other proteins, e.g., bovine serum albumin and cytochrome c.}, language = {en} } @misc{YarmanKurbanogluJetzschmannetal.2018, author = {Yarman, Aysu and Kurbanoglu, Sevinc and Jetzschmann, Katharina J. and Ozkan, Sibel A. and Wollenberger, Ulla and Scheller, Frieder W.}, title = {Electrochemical MIP-Sensors for Drugs}, series = {Current Medicinal Chemistry}, volume = {25}, journal = {Current Medicinal Chemistry}, number = {33}, publisher = {Bentham Science Publishers LTD}, address = {Sharjah}, issn = {0929-8673}, doi = {10.2174/0929867324666171005103712}, pages = {4007 -- 4019}, year = {2018}, abstract = {In order to replace bio-macromolecules by stable synthetic materials in separation techniques and bioanalysis biomimetic receptors and catalysts have been developed: Functional monomers are polymerized together with the target analyte and after template removal cavities are formed in the "molecularly imprinted polymer" (MIP) which resemble the active sites of antibodies and enzymes. Starting almost 80 years ago, around 1,100 papers on MIPs were published in 2016. Electropolymerization allows to deposit MIPs directly on voltammetric electrodes or chips for quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). For the readout of MIPs for drugs amperometry, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS) offer higher sensitivity as compared with QCM or SPR. Application of simple electrochemical devices allows both the reproducible preparation of MIP sensors, but also the sensitive signal generation. Electrochemical MIP-sensors for the whole arsenal of drugs, e.g. the most frequently used analgesics, antibiotics and anticancer drugs have been presented in literature and tested under laboratory conditions. These biomimetic sensors typically have measuring ranges covering the lower nano-up to millimolar concentration range and they are stable under extreme pH and in organic solvents like nonaqueous extracts.}, language = {en} } @article{JetzschmannTankJagerszkietal.2019, author = {Jetzschmann, Katharina J. and Tank, Steffen and Jagerszki, Gyula and Gyurcsanyi, Robert E. and Wollenberger, Ulla and Scheller, Frieder W.}, title = {Bio-Electrosynthesis of Vectorially Imprinted Polymer Nanofilms for Cytochrome P450cam}, series = {ChemElectroChem}, volume = {6}, journal = {ChemElectroChem}, number = {6}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {2196-0216}, doi = {10.1002/celc.201801851}, pages = {1818 -- 1823}, year = {2019}, abstract = {A new approach for synthesizing a vectorially imprinted polymer (VIP) is presented for the microbial cytochrome P450cam enzyme. A surface attached binding motif of a natural reaction partner of the target protein, putidaredoxin (Pdx), is the anchor to the underlying transducer. The 15 amino acid peptide anchor, which stems from the largest continuous amino acid chain within the binding site of Pdx was modified: (i) internal cysteines were replaced by serines to prevent disulfide bond formation; (ii) 2 ethylene glycol units were attached to the N-terminus as a spacer region; and (iii) an N-terminal cysteine was added to allow the immobilization on the gold electrode surface. Immobilization on GCE was achieved via an N-(1-pyrenyl)maleimide (NPM) cross-linker. In this way oriented immobilization of P450cam was accomplished by binding it to a peptide-modified gold or glassy carbon electrode (GCE) prior to the electrosynthesis of a polymer nanofilm around the immobilized target. This VIP nanofilm enabled reversible oriented docking of P450cam as it is indicated by the catalytic oxygen reduction via direct electron transfer between the enzyme and the underlying electrode. Catalysis of oxygen reduction by P450cam bound to the VIP-modified GCE was used to measure rebinding to the VIP. The mild coupling of an oxidoreductase with the electrode may be appropriate for realizing electrode-driven substrate conversion by instable P450 enzymes without the need of NADPH co-factor.}, language = {en} } @misc{YarmanScheller2020, author = {Yarman, Aysu and Scheller, Frieder W.}, title = {How reliable is the electrochemical readout of MIP sensors?}, series = {Sensors}, volume = {20}, journal = {Sensors}, number = {9}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {1424-8220}, doi = {10.3390/s20092677}, pages = {23}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Electrochemical methods offer the simple characterization of the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and the readouts of target binding.
