Enzymes as electrodes

Reactions in which the nature of the substrate is vital (e.g., as in electrocatalysis, corrosion, electrodeposition) do not offer opportunities for application of a technique in which the substrate is regarded essentially as an electron source or sink, rather than as an electrocatalyst. The very large field of bioelectrochemistiy (which involves concepts such as enzymes as electrodes and even offers electrochemical mechanisms for metabolism) would offer difficulties for potential sweep applications because of the very high resistance of the substrate.21... 

The aim in this work is to adsorb enzymes onto electrodes and to have them interact with reduced ions in solution. Some progress is being made in this more advanced area of enzymes as electrodes. The layer that is adsorbed onto the...
