Enzyme electrodes purines

Several techniques have been developed for the determination of purine and pyrimidine derivatives in food sample and in particular for hypoxanthine quantification biosensors (220-223) and electrochemical methods making use of immobilized enzyme electrode (224 -227), electrochemical enzymatic-based HA methods (228,229), enzyme reaction with fluorimetric detection (230), radioimmunoassay (231), colorimetric methods (232), capillary electrophoresis (233), and TLC (234). Many HPLC methods have also been developed and are reported in Table 4 (235-247) the most recent ones are described next.

The cell is placed by micropipette into the chamber. The device operates as a miniaturized Clark electrode, measuring hydrogen peroxide produced as a consequence of an enzyme cascade, in solution. Purine and lactate release can be detected in real time from the single cell in femtomolar amounts [11, 13, 14]. 

Electrochemical methods are uniquely suited to provide insight into redox and related chemical reactivity of compounds of biological interest. In electrochemical studies of enzymatic redox reactions, an electrode poised at a suitable potential is used to simulate the redox enzyme. Although the similarity is superficial, the value of such studies has been verified by the unique insights into redox reactivity of compounds of biological interest. These include purines and, recently, the drugs mitomycin and acetaminophen .
