Redox substrate

Mobley et al. (3) prepared macroscopic complexes, (IV), containing ferrocene that were effective as redox substrates. 

Fig. 6-11. Scheme of the modified electrode (polymer film thickness 0) in contact with a solution containing a redox substrate. <5 is the Nernst layer thickness defined for a rotating disc electrode. From [85]. 

On the solution side, this current is equal to the one due to the redox substrate which can be written explicitly as ... 

Another analogy can be realized in the high frequency range even if now the redox substrate concentration is not zero. Indeed when co (or 1 )->< , Eq. (6.28) is equivalent to... 

Figure 20. (A) Ribbon drawing of the interaction between CCP and its redox substrate, cytochrome f determined from X-ray coordinates [ 137]. The hemes are shown for CCP and cytochrome c along with the proximal residues involved in electron transport between the proteins. (B) A close-up of the electron transport chain and their overlapping electron density.

Collective name for polyprenylated 2,3-dimethylben-zoquinone derivatives, [e.g., PQ-9 (n=9), C5jH ,02, Mr 749.22, bright yellow platelets, mp. 48-49 C, u max 314 nm (petroleum ether)], isolated from chloro-plasts. The P. play a role as redox substrates in photosynthesis for cyclic and non-cyclic electron transport where they are converted reversibly into the corresponding hydroquinones (plastoquinols). The biosynthesis of P. proceeds from homogentisic acid, a product of L-tyrosine degradation, through prenylation and methylation (methyl group from L-methionine) to the plastoquinols which are dehydrated to the P.. ... 

The diffusion coefficient (App) of the redox substrate in these films or solids coated on an electrode has usually been very small. An entirely solid-state voltammogram using a conventional three-electrode system has not been reported yet (see Experiment 14-4, Section 14.5). Electrochemical reactions have been successfully achieved in a tight solid made of polysaccharide and water [107]. In this solid, conventional electrochemical reactions and measurements could be performed using a normal three-electrode system as in pure water without any outer water phase and vessel, and the electrochemical reactivity was almost the same as in pure water. 

In this approach double-stranded oligonucleotide PCR amplicons are labeled with a hapten on one end and another different hapten on the other end during PC R. The transducer surface (gold or carbon screen-printed chips) is treated with protein based anti-haptens that capture one of the hapten label on the PCR amplicons. The second hapten label on the PCR amplicons will bind to a specific anti-hapten-conjugated HRP or AP reporter enzyme to labeled PCR amplicons. Addition of the enzyme-specific redox substrate and application of a fixed potential between working and reference... 

The electrochemical behavior of redox molecules in polymer films and gels has been investigated [4,7,18,23,61-66], but such behavior has usually been studied by using a modified electrode coated with a polymer film or gel in the presence of an outer electrolyte solution. In a few examples, entirely solid-state voltammetry was also achieved, but by using a microelectrode array [65,66] composed of working, counter, and reference electrodes because of the slow ionic or molecular diffusion in the soHd matrices. The apparent diffusion coefficient (Dapp) of a redox substrate in the films or solids coated on an electrode was very small [4,7,18,23,62-66], usually of the order of less than 10 cm s Another example of solid state votammetry is a report on the electrochemistry of Prussian blue in silica sol-gel electrolytes [67], but only Pt gauze working and counter electrodes for a - 1 mm-thick silica solid were used. Moreover, it is well known that solid electrolytes have been used on various sensors, electro chromic devices, etc. [68,69]. However, in spite... 

The second category comprises enzymes for which all electron transfer occurs within a highly localized assembly of the metal centre and redox substrates. These may be termed intrinsic redox enzymes.
