In this work the first tin-rich mesoporous indium tin oxide is prepared using the molecular heterobimetallic single-source precursor, indium tin tris-tert-butoxide, together with an appropriate structure-directing template, yielding materials with high surface areas and tailorable pore size. The resulting mesoporous tin-rich ITO films show a high and durable electrical conductivity and transparency, making them interesting materials for hosting electroactive biomolecules such as proteins. In fact, its unique performance in bioelectronic applications has been demonstrated by immobilization of high amounts of cytochrome c into the mesoporous film which undergo redox processes directly with the conductive electrode material.

A1 - Wollenberger, Ursula T1 - Electrocatalytic sulfite biosensor with human sulfite oxidase co-immobilized with cytochrome c in a polyelectrolyte-containing multilayer T2 - Postprints der Universität Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe N2 - An efficient electrocatalytic biosensor for sulfite detection was developed by co-immobilizing sulfite oxidase and cytochrome c with polyaniline sulfonic acid in a layer-by-layer assembly. QCM, UV-Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry revealed increasing loading of electrochemically active protein with the formation of multilayers. The sensor operates reagentless at low working potential. A catalytic oxidation current was detected in the presence of sulfite at the modified gold electrode, polarized at +0.1 V ( vs. Ag/AgCl 1 M KCl). The stability of the biosensor performance was characterized and optimized. A 17-bilayer electrode has a linear range between 1 and 60 mu M sulfite with a sensitivity of 2.19 mA M-1 sulfite and a response time of 2 min. The electrode retained a stable response for 3 days with a serial reproducibility of 3.8% and lost 20% of sensitivity after 5 days of operation. It is possible to store the sensor in a dry state for more than 2 months. The multilayer electrode was used for determination of sulfite in unspiked and spiked samples of red and white wine. The recovery and the specificity of the signals were evaluated for each sample.

All three interaction partners are studied here for the first time with human cyt c and with mutant forms of cyt c. A further aim is the incorporation of the different cyt c forms in two bioelectronic systems: an electrochemical superoxide biosensor with an enhanced sensitivity and a protein multilayer assembly with and without bilirubin oxidase on electrodes. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the design, expression and characterization of the mutants. A focus is here the electrochemical characterization of the protein in solution and immobilized on electrodes. Further the reaction of these mutants with superoxide was investigated and the possible reaction mechanisms are discussed. In the second part of the work an amperometric superoxide biosensor with selected human cytochrome c mutants was constructed and the performance of the sensor electrodes was studied. The human wild-type and four of the five mutant electrodes could be applied successfully for the detection of the superoxide radical. In the third part of the thesis the reaction of horse heart cyt c, the human wild-type and seven human cyt c mutants with the two proteins sulfite oxidase and bilirubin oxidase was studied electrochemically and the influence of the mutations on the electron transfer reactions was discussed. Finally protein multilayer electrodes with different cyt form including the mutant forms G77K and N70K which exhibit different reaction rates towards BOD were investigated and BOD together with the wild-type and engineered cyt c was embedded in the multilayer assembly. The relevant electron transfer steps and the kinetic behavior of the multilayer electrodes are investigated since the functionality of electroactive multilayer assemblies with incorporated redox proteins is often limited by the electron transfer abilities of the proteins within the multilayer. The formation via the layer-by-layer technique and the kinetic behavior of the mono and bi-protein multilayer system are studied by SPR and cyclic voltammetry. In conclusion this thesis shows that protein engineering is a helpful instrument to study protein reactions as well as electron transfer mechanisms of complex bioelectronic systems (such as bi-protein multilayers). Furthermore, the possibility to design tailored recognition elements for the construction of biosensors with an improved performance is demonstrated. N2 - Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es genetisch veränderte Formen von humanem Cytochrom c herzustellen und diese einerseits hinsichtlich der Reaktion mit dem Sauerstoff-Radikal Superoxid aber auch mit anderen Proteinen zu untersuchen. Zusätzlich sollen die verschiedenen Protein-Mutanten in neuartige bioelektronische Systeme eingebracht werden. Es wurden insgesamt 20 Cytochrome c Mutanten designt, rekombinant exprimiert und aufgereinigt. Es konnte in dieser Arbeit gezeigt werden, dass sich die Reaktion von Cytochrom c mit dem negativ geladenen Superoxid durch gezielte Mutationen, die zusätzliche positive Ladungen in das Molekül bringen, um bis zu 30 % erhöhen lässt. Es wurde aber auch deutlich, dass andere Eigenschaften des Proteins sowie dessen Struktur durch die Mutationen geändert werden können. Cytochrom c Mutanten mit einer erhöhten Reaktionsrate mit Superoxid konnten erfolgreich in einen Superoxid-Biosensor mit erhöhter Sensitivität eingebracht werden. Weiterhin wurde einige Mutanten hinsichtlich Ihrer Interaktion mit den zwei Enzymen Sulfitoxidase und Bilirubinoxidase untersucht. Hier konnten ebenfalls unterschiedliche Reaktivitäten festgestellt werden. Schließlich wurden ausgewählte Protein-Varianten mit und ohne den zuvor untersuchten Enzymen in ein Multischicht-Elektroden-System eingebettet und dessen kinetisches Verhalten untersucht. Es wurde gefunden, dass die Schnelligkeit mit der Cytochrom c mit sich selbst Elektronen austauschen kann, eine Limitierung der Größenordnung der katalytischen Ströme darstellt. Diese Selbstaustausschrate wurde durch die eingeführten Mutationen verändert. So verdeutlicht diese Arbeit, dass „Protein-Engineering“ ein gutes Hilfsmittel sein kann, um einerseits Proteinreaktionen und komplexe Elektronentransferreaktionen in Multischichten zu untersuchen, aber auch ein potentes Werkzeug darstellt mit dem zugeschnittene Biokomponenten für Sensoren mit erhöhter Leistungsfähigkeit generiert werden können.

The generation of both reactive oxygen species was achieved by immobilization of xanthine oxidase on controlled pore glass in a reaction chamber. Antioxidants can be introduced into the fluidic chip system by means of mixing chamber. The detection of both species is based on the amperometric principle using a biosensor chip with two working electrodes. As sensing protein for both electrodes cytochrome c was used. The novel system was designed for the quantification of the antioxidant efficiency of different potential scavengers of the respective reactive species in an aqueous medium. Several model antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or catalase have been tested under flow conditions.
