Electrochemical polymerization of functionalized thiohene derivatives for immobilization of proteins
(1997)
A biosensor, based on a redoxactive osmium polymer and sulfite oxidase on screen-printed electrodes, is presented here as a promising method for the detection of sulfite. A catalytic oxidative current was generated when a sample containing sulfite was pumped over the carbon screen-printed electrode modified with osmium redox polymer wired sulfite oxidase. A stationary value was reached after approximately 50 s and a complete measurement lasted no more than 3 min. The electrode polarized at -0.1 V (vs. Ag vertical bar AgCl 1M KCl) permits minimizing the influence of interfering substances, since these compounds can be unspecific oxidized at higher potentials. Because of the good stability of the protein film on the electrode surface, a well functioning biosensor-flow system was possible to construct. The working stability and reproducibility were further enhanced by the addition of bovine serum albumin generating a more long-term stable and biocompatible protein environment. The optimized biosensor showed a stable signal for more than a week of operation and a coefficient of variation of 4.8% for 12 successive measurements. The lower limit of detection of the sensor was 0.5 mu M sulfite and the response was linear until 100 mu M. The high sensitivity permitted a 1:500 dilution of wine samples. The immobilization procedure and the operational conditions granted minimized interferences. Additionally, repeating the immobilization procedure to form several layers of wired SO further increased the sensitivity of such a sensor. Finally. the applicability of the developed sulfite biosensor was tested on real samples, such as white and red wines.

The layer-by-layer adsorption technique based on the consecutive deposition of oppositely charged species is for the preparation of protein multilayers with fully electro-active protein molecules. The methodology was established with cytochrome c and the polyelectrolyte sulfonated polyaniline (PASA). The technique is also useful for the construction of bi-protein architectures confining protein-protein communication to an electrode. Following natural examples of protein complexes with defined signal transfer, cytochrome c was arranged with enzymes such as xanthine oxidase, bilirubin oxidase, laccase, and sulfite oxidase in self-assembled multilayer architectures. Thus, biomimetic signal chains from the enzyme substrate via the enzyme and cytochrome c towards the electrode can be established. Communication between proteins immobilised in multiple layers on the electrode can be achieved by in situ generation of small shuttle molecules or more advantageously by direct interprotein electron transfer. This allows the construction of new sensing electrodes, the properties of which can be tuned by the number of deposited protein layers. The mechanism of electron transfer within such protein assemblies on gold electrodes will be discussed.
Direct electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry of osmium substituted horseradish peroxidase
(2009)
In this contribution the substitution of the central protoporphyrin IX iron complex of horseradish peroxidase by the respective osmium porphyrin complex is described. The direct electrochemical reduction of the Os containing horseradish peroxidase (OsHRP) was achieved at ITO and modified glassy carbon electrodes and in combination with spectroscopy revealed the three redox couples (OsHRP)-H-III/(OsHRP)-H-IV, (OsHRP)-H-IV/(OsHRP)-H-V and (OsHRP)-H-V/ (OsHRP)-H-VI. The midpoint potentials differ dependent on the electrode material used with E-1/2 (Os-III/IV) of -0.4 V (ITO) and -0.25 V (GC), E-1/2 (Os-IV/V) of -0.16 V (ITO) and +0.10 V (GC), and E-1/2 (Os-V/VI)of +018 V (ITO), respectively Moreover, with immobilised OsHRP the direct electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide was observed. In comparison to electrodes modified with native HRP the sensitivity of the OsHRP-electrode for tert-butyl hydroperoxide is higher.

A method for construction of biosensors with membranous cytochrome P450 isoenzymes was developed based on clay/ detergent/protein mixed films. Thin films of sodium montmorillonite colloid with incorporated cytochrome P450 2134 (CYP2B4) with nonionic detergent were prepared on glassy carbon electrodes. The modified electrodes were electrochemically characterized, and bio-electrocatalytic reactions were followed. CYP2B4 can be reduced fast on clay- modified glassy carbon electrodes in the presence of the nonionic detergent Tween 80. In anaerobic solutions, reversible oxidation and reduction is obtained with a formal potential between -0.292 and - 0.305 V vs Ag/AgCl 1 M KCl depending on the preparation of the biosensor. In air-saturated solution, bio-electrocatalytic reduction currents can be obtained with the CYP2B4-modified electrode on addition of typical substrates such as aminopyrine and benzphetamine. This reaction was suppressed when methyrapone, an inhibitor of P450 reactions, was present. Measurement of product formation also indicates the bioelectrocatialysis by CYP2B4
Stable immobilization and reversible electrochemistry of cytochrome c in a tranparent indium tin oxide film with a well-defined mesoporosity (mpITO) is demonstrated. the transparency and good conductivity, in combination with the large surface area of mpITO, allow the incorporation of a high amount of elelctroactive biomolecules and their electrochemical and spectroscopic investigation. UV/Vis and resonance Raman spectroscopy, in combination with direct protein voltammetry are employed for the characterization of cytochrome c immobilized in the mpITO and reveal no perturbant of the structural of the integrity of the redox protein. The potential of this modified material as a biosensor detection of superoxide anions is also demonstrated.
Characterization of a monoclonal antibody and its Fab fragment against diphenylurea hapten with BIA
(1998)
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.
