Photoisomerization biocatalyst

Fig. 31a). The native FAD cofactor was extracted from GOx and the semisynthetic FAD cofactor was reconstituted into the apo-GOx (apo-GOx) (Fig. 31b). This reconstituted enzyme includes a photoisomerizable unit directly attached to the redox center of the enzyme, and hence, the enzyme is predisposed for optimized photoswitchable bioelectrocatalytic properties. The photoisomerizable enzyme was assembled on an Au-electrode as described in Fig. 31(c). The bioelectrocatalytic oxidation of glucose was stimulated in the presence of ferrocene carboxylic acid as a diffusional electron-transfer mediator. The (28a)-state of the reconstituted GOx was inactive for the bioelectrocatalytic transformation, whereas photoisomerization of the enzyme to the (28b)-state activated the system (Fig. 32). By the cyclic photoisomerization of the enzyme mono-layer between (28a) and (28b) states, the bioelectrocatalyzed oxidation of glucose was cycled between the off and on states, respectively (Fig. 32, inset). It was also found that the direction of the photo-bioelectrocatalytic switch of the (28a/28b)-FAD-reconstituted GOx is controlled by the electrical properties of the diffusional electron-transfer mediator [385]. With ferrocene dicarboxylic acid as a diffusional electron-transfer mediator, the enzyme in the (28a)-state was found to correspond to the switched off biocatalyst, while the (28b)-state exhibits switched on behavior. In the presence of the protonated 1-[1-(dimethylamino)ethyl]ferrocene, the direction of the photobioelectrocatalytic switch is reversed. This control of the photoswitch direction of the photoisomerizable GOx was attributed to electrostatic interactions between the diffusional electron-transfer mediator and the photoisomerizable unit linked to the FAD. The (28b)-state attracts the oxidized negatively charged... [Pg.613]
