Biological systems biosensors

Biological system Biosensor design Results and remarks Reference... 

To fulfill both the requirement of CFME for the practical applications and the necessity of Au substrate to assemble so-called promoters to construct the third-generation biosensor, Tian el al. have combined the electrochemical deposition of Au nanoparticles (Au-NPs) onto carbon fiber microelectrodes with the self-assembly of a monolayer on these Au-NPs to facilitate the direct electron transfer of SOD at the carbon fiber microelectrode. The strategy enabled a third-generation amperometric 02 biosensor to be readily fabricated on the carbon fiber microelectrode. This CFME-based biosensor is envisaged to have great potential for (he detection of 02" in biological systems [158],... 

Nowadays, studies of direct electrochemistry of redox proteins at the electrodesolution interface have held more and more scientists interest. Those studies are a convenient and informative means for understanding the kinetics and thermodynamics of biological redox processes. And they may provide a model for the study of the mechanism of electron transfer between enzymes in biological systems, and establish a foundation for fabricating new kinds of biosensors or enzymatic bioreactors. 

Molecular recognition in biological systems (active sites on the surfaces of macromolecule, antibody-antigen) and biological sensors (enzyme activity, biosensors). 

Catalytic Oxidation of NAD(P)H A Continuously Improved Selection of Suitable ROMs This research is triggered hy at least two reasons (1) the importance of NAD(P)H/NAD(P)- - redox couples in biological systems is known, as is known the dependence of oxidation mechanisms on the oxidants [14, 82, 172-174] (2) the possibility of developing amperometric biosensors for NAD(P)+-dependent dehydrogenases. As a consequence, much attention is devoted to the regeneration of these coenzymes in their reduced or oxidized forms for their application in biosensors or in enzymatic synthesis [180]. Here, we are concerned with electrochemical regeneration [181].
