Bioelectrocatalysis at mesoporous antimony doped tin oxide electrodes-Electrochemical characterization and direct enzyme communication

  • In this paper we report immobilization and bioelectrocatalysis of human sulfite oxidase (hSO) on nanostructured antimony doped tin oxide (ATO) thin film electrodes. Two types of ATO thin film electrodes were prepared via evaporation induced self-assembly of ATO nanoparticle sols. The use of a porogen results in different porosity and film thickness. Nevertheless both electrode types reveal similar quasi reversible electrochemical behavior for positive and negatively charged small mediators. Facile and durable immobilization of catalytically active enzyme in a direct electron transfer configuration was achieved without further chemical modification of the ATO surfaces. Interestingly, the binding of hSO onto the ATO surface seems to be not only of electrostatic nature, but also originates from a strong interaction between the histidine-tag of the enzyme and the supporting material. This is suggested from stable sulfite dependent bioelectrocatalytic signals at high ionic strength and imidazole desorption experiments.
