Concentration of Redox Sites in the Mediator Film

Compare this with the mediator structure having a redox potential of 0.43 V, which has a of 3 mM. For a similar concentration, this mediator would be 80 times the Michaelis constant, and the mediator-enzyme reaction would be at its maximum rate. It is clear that performance of the chosen mediator would be increased by a higher value of C. This increase can be accomplished by altering the synthesis conditions of the redox polymer. Table 9.3 shows conditions of syntheses for the early and modified versions of the chosen mediator. When solvent
