Photochemical activation bioelectrocatalytic

The electrostatic control of the electrical contact between redox-proteins and electrodes by means of command interfaces was further demonstrated by the photochemical switching of the bioelectrocatalytic properties of glucose oxidase (Figure 7.22). Ferrocene units were tethered to the protein backbone of glucose oxidase to yield an electrically wired enzyme that is activated for the bioelectrocatalyzed oxidation of glucose. The enzyme is negatively charged at neutral pH values (pIc,o 4.2 ) and, hence, could be...
