  abstract  = {Cytochrome c was immobilized on screen-printed thick-film gold electrodes by a self-assembly approach using mixed monolayers of mercaptoundecanoic acid and mercaptoundecanol. Cyclic voltammetry revealed quasi-reversible electrochemical behavior of the covalently fixed protein with a formal potential of +10 mV vs. Ag/AgCl. Polarized at +150 mV vs. Ag/AgCl the electrode was found to be sensitive to superoxide radicals in the range 300-1200 nmol L-1. Compared with metal needle electrodes sensitivity and reproducibility could be improved and combined with the easiness of preparation. This allows the fabrication of disposable sensors for nanomolar superoxide concentrations. By changing the electrode potential the sensor can be switched from response to superoxide radicals to hydrogen peroxide-another reactive oxygen species. H2O2 sensitivity can be provided in the range 10-1000 mumol L-1 which makes the electrode suitable for oxidative stress studies},

  year      = {2004},
  abstract  = {The in vitro superoxide scavenging activity (as determined by electrochemical measurement) and the in vivo antioxidant potential (as determined by a mouse model of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) hepatotoxicity) of methanolic extracts prepared from 10 Chinese tonifying herbs were compared. Electrochemical measurement using a cytochrome c (Cyt. c) sensor showed that all of the tested herbal extracts exhibited a medium superoxide scavenging activity of different potency, as indicated by their IC50 values. The in vivo measurement demonstrated that 80\% of the herbal extracts displayed in vivo antioxidant potential, as assessed by the percentage of protection of the activity of plasma alanine aminotransferases and the hepatic glutathione regeneration capacity under CCl4-intoxicated condition. Although the in vitro antioxidant activity did not correlate quantitatively with the in vivo antioxidant potential, for 8 out of 10 samples a similar tendency was found. The rapid amperometric assessment of antioxidant potential by Cyt. c sensor may offer a convenient and direct method for screening as well as the quality control of herbal products.

  year      = {2004},
  abstract  = {A novel multilayer cytochrome c electrode for the quantification of superoxide radical concentrations is introduced. The electrode consists of alternating layers of cytochrome c and poly(aniline(sulfonic acid)) on a gold wire electrode. The formation of multilayer structures was proven by SPR experiments. Assemblies with 2-15 protein layers showed electrochemical communication with the gold electrode. For every additional layer, a substantial increase in electrochemically active cytochrome c (cyt. c) was found. For electrodes of more than 10 layers, the increase was more than 1 order of magnitude as compared to monolayer electrode systems. Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the electrodes were characterized. The mechanism of electron transfer within the multilayer assembly was studied, with results suggesting a protein-protein electron-transfer model. Electrodes of 2-15 layers were applied to the in vitro quantification of enzymatically generated superoxide, showing superior sensitivity as compared to a monolayer-based sensor. An electrode with 6 cyt. c/PASA layers showed the highest sensitivity of the systems studied, giving an increase in sensitivity of half an order of magnitude versus the that of the monolayer electrode. The stability of the system was optimized using thermal treatment, resulting in no loss in sensor signal or protein loading after 10 successive measurements or 2 days of storage},

  title     = {Denaturation and renaturation of cytochrome c immobilized on gold electrodes in DMSO-containing buffers},
  year      = {2004},
  abstract  = {Cytochrome c (cyt c) was immobilized on surface-modified gold electrodes using a self-assembling approach. The resulting cyt c electrode was studied using cyclic voltammetry. Compared to pure phosphate buffer, cyt c electrodes exhibited in DMSO-containing solutions lower oxidation and reduction peak currents, which originated from a decrease in the addressable electro-active amount of the surface-immobilized protein. This is associated with the process of protein denaturation. The denaturation kinetics can be described by a sum of two processes with time constants differing by more than one order of magnitude. The subsequent change of the aqueous/organic medium back to a pure aqueous buffer resulted in a shift of the formal potential to its initial value and a partial recovery of the peak current. This can be attributed to the renaturation of the cyt c. The extent of renaturation depended on the organic solvent/water ratio of the mixture used. The kinetics of protein renaturation were similar to those of the denaturation process. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved},
