T1  - Affinity interaction betwen phenylboronic acid-carrying self-assembled monolayers and FAD or HRP
N2  - A method is provided for the recognition of glycated molecules based on their binding affinities to boronate- carrying monolayers. The affinity interaction of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) with phenylboronic acid monolayers on gold was investigated by using voltammetric and microgravimetric methods. Conjugates of 3-aminopherrylboronic acid and 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid di(N-hydroxysuccinimide ester) or 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid were prepared and self-assembled on gold surfaces to generate monolayers. FAD is bound to this modified sur-face and recognized by a pair of redox peaks with a formal potential of -0.433 V in a 0.1 m phosphate buffer solution, pH 6.5. Upon addition of a sugar to the buffer, the bound FAD could be replaced, indicating that the binding is reversible. Voltammetric, mass measurements, and photometric activity assays show that the HRP can also be bound to the interface. This binding is reversible, and HRP can be replaced by sorbitol or removed in acidic solution. The effects of pH, incubation time, and concentration of H2O2 were studied by comparing the catalytic reduction of H2O2 in the presence of the electron-donor thionine. The catalytic current of the HRP-loaded electrode was proportional to HRP concentrations in the incubation solution in the range between 5 mu g mL(-1) and 0.4 mg mL(-1) with a linear slope of 3.34 mu A mL mg(-1) and a correlation coefficient of 0.9945

T1  - Electrochemical bioassay utilizing encapsulated electrochemical active microcrystal biolabels
N2  - A new approach to perform electrochemical immunoassay based on the utilization of encapsulated microcrystal was developed. The microcrystal labels create a "supernova effect" upon exposure to a desired releasing agent. The microcrystal cores dissolve, and large amounts of signal-generating molecules diffuse across the capsule wall into the outer environment. Layer-by-Layer (LbL) technology was employed for the encapsulation of electrochemical signal- generating microcrystals (ferrocene microcrystals). The encapsulated microcrystals were conjugated with antibody molecules through the adsorption process. The biofunctionalized microcrystals were utilized as a probe for immunoassays. The microcrystal-based label system provided a high-signal molecule to antibody (SIP) ratio of 10(4)-10(5). Microcrystal biolabels with different antibody surface coverage (1.60-5.05 mg m(-2)) were subjected to a solid-phase immunoassay for the detection of mouse immunoglobulin G (M-IgG) molecules. The microcrystal-based immunoassay for the detection of M-IgG performed with microcrystals having antibody surface coverage of 5.05 mg m(-2) showed a sensitivity of 3.93 nA  g(- 1) L-1 with a detection limit of 2.82  g L-1
