Abstract

There are now a number of distinct strategies which can be employed to make amperometric enzyme electrodes. These include the use of homogeneous mediators, modified electrodes and organic conducting salts. In this paper we review these strategies and discuss their application to NAD(P)H dependent dehydrogenase and flavoprotein based biosensors. In addition we discuss recent work on the immobilisation of glucose oxidase in polypyrrole, poly-N-methylpyrrole, polyaniline and polyphenol films electrochemically grown at the electrode surface and on the covalent attachment of redox mediators to glucose oxidase in order to achieve direct electron transfer to the electrode.

Reaction kinetics of amperometric enzyme electrode in various geometries using the Akbari-Ganji method
2023, International Journal of Electrochemical Science
A kinetic model of amperometric enzyme electrodes of planar, cylindrical and spherical shape factors is discussed. This paper considers the mathematical formulation of the kinetics mechanism in the electrode’s diffusion layer. This model comprises a non-linear system of reaction diffusion equations. Simple and closed-form analytical expressions for the dimensionless concentration of mediator, enzyme, substrate and resultant current are gained using the Akbari-Ganji method. Comparing the analytical and numerical results reveals a satisfactory level of agreement. The influence of the parameter and electrode’s geometry on mediator concentration, enzyme concentration and current are analysed.
Fundamentals of biological recognition elements
2023, Fundamentals of Sensor Technology: Principles and Novel Designs
This chapter provides a general outline of biorecognition receptors and their use and development. In introduction, brief information is given about biosensors and their methods. In the second part, details are offered about biorecognition receptors used in biosensor systems as well as immobilization methods and measurement principles. In this chapter, biorecognition receptors are divided according to their structural activity: protein-based biorecognition, peptide-based biorecognition, nucleic acid–based biorecognition and whole cell–based biorecognition. Biorecognition receptors are divided based on structural activity because these molecules may be used according to their catalytic and affinity properties. The advantages and disadvantages of artificial and natural biorecognition receptors are discussed. The overall principles, types of bonding, and pros and cons of these types are reviewed in the conclusion.
Enzyme-based electrochemical nanobiosensors using quantum dots
2021, Electroanalytical Applications of Quantum Dot-Based Biosensors
The advantages of quantum dots are a large surface area, low cost, excellent optical and electrochemical properties, and the ability for attractive surface modification. In recent years, quantum dots have become among the most promising materials in biosensor construction. Over the past years, electrochemical enzyme-based biosensors have been considered to develop simple, rapid, and highly sensitive and selective devices for the detection of desired compounds in many different samples. In light of this knowledge, different types of biosensing systems have been developed using quantum dots. In this chapter, enzyme-based electrochemical nanobiosensors using quantum dots are discussed. First, a general description is given of enzymes related with their classification and nomenclature, enzyme kinetics, and inhibition information. Subsequently, generations of enzyme-based biosensors and the methods of immobilization are also described in detail. Additionally, some selected quantum dot-based electrochemical enzyme biosensor studies are summarized and tabulated. Finally, future prospects in this rapidly developing field are also discussed.
Recent advances and perspectives in sweat based wearable electrochemical sensors
2020, TrAC - Trends in Analytical Chemistry
The majority of existing medical diagnosis depends on the blood analysis in centralized sophisticated laboratories having bulky, complex, and time-consuming clinical instruments. Blood test involves invasive sample collection followed by plasma separation via centrifugation, and chemical analyses. This may prevent persons in need of urgent medical diagnosis and prompt medical attention. Wearable biosensor offers non-invasive monitoring of physiologically relevant biomarkers from biofluids and continuous tracking of real-time health status. Recent advances are much focused on electrochemical monitoring of various biomarkers from sweat samples. Such skin-interfaced sweat sensors require flexibility, stretchability and self-healing ability to match with the mechanical properties of the epidermis. The multiplexed sweat analysis coupled with wireless signal transduction provides vital information about health and fitness level of the wearer. This review focuses on the challenges, perspectives, recent advances and the technological aspects in the progress of wearable electrochemical sweat sensors.
NAD(P)-dependent glucose dehydrogenase: Applications for biosensors, bioelectrodes, and biofuel cells
2020, Bioelectrochemistry
Citation Excerpt :
Amperometric enzyme sensors based on direct and mediated electron transfer have also been described in a review by Schuhmann et al., however, the main focus was not specific to NAD(P)-dependent GDH-based sensors [76]. Amperometric biosensors employing NAD-dependent GDH as the catalyst have been used mainly for monitoring NADH production, and sometimes its consumption [76–79]. Most of the reactions catalysed by these dehydrogenases have E° values more positive than that of the NAD+/NADH redox couple.
This review discusses the physical and chemical properties of nicotinamide redox cofactor dependent glucose dehydrogenase (NAD(P) dependent GDH) and its extensive application in biosensors and bio-fuel cells. GDHs from different organisms show diverse biochemical properties (e.g., activity and stability) and preferences towards cofactors, such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP⁺). The (NAD(P)⁺) play important roles in biological electron transfer, however, there are some difficulties related to their application in devices that originate from their chemical properties and labile binding to the GDH enzyme. This review discusses the electrode modifications aimed at immobilising NAD⁺ or NADP⁺ cofactors and GDH at electrodes. Binding of the enzyme was achieved by appropriate protein engineering techniques, including polymerisation, hydrophobisation or hydrophilisation processes. Various enzyme-modified electrodes applied in biosensors, enzymatic fuel cells, and biobatteries are compared. Importantly, GDH can operate alone or as part of an enzymatic cascade, which often improves the functional parameters of the biofuel cell or simply allows use of cheaper fuels. Overall, this review explores how NAD(P)-dependent GDH has recently demonstrated high potential for use in various systems to generate electricity from biological sources for applications in implantable biomedical devices, wireless sensors, and portable electronic devices.
Novel formation mechanism of Ag/PANI/PVP core-shell nanocomposites
2020, Results in Physics
Citation Excerpt :
Conducting polymers are finding numerous applications in television sets, cellular telephones, displays, light emitting diodes, solar cells, batteries, actuators, sensors, electromagnetic shielding, and microelectronic devices [1–4,9,10]. In addition, the conductivity of conducting polymers can change over several orders of magnitude in response to changes like in pH and redox potential of their environment as discussed by [11–23]. Amongst the family of conducting polymers, polyaniline (PANI) has been of particular interest due to its controllable electrical conductivity, high absorption coefficients in the visible light, interesting redox properties, chemical stability, relatively high conductivity, easy polymerization, and low cost of monomer [5–8,24–29].
Recently, polymer-inorganic nanocomposites core shells have attracted great attention as new materials because of their novel mechanical, electrical, and optical properties. In this article, we report a simultaneous synthesis of polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles and Silver (Ag) nanoparticles to form Ag/PANI nanocomposite core-shell embedded in polyvinilpirrolidone (PVP) by using hybrid chemical and gamma-irradiation oxidation process of aniline and reduction of Ag ions, respectively in the presence of dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid (DBSA). The mechanism of formation of Ag/PANI/PVP core-shell is proposed in this article. In addition, the effects of gamma-dose and Ag ions concentration on structural, and optical, properties of the nanocomposites PVP/PANI/Ag core-shell were carefully examined. The structural and morphological studies show the presence of PANI with regular granular nanostructure as a shell with a diameter of 20 nm and Ag nanoparticles with spherical shape as a core and diameter less than 10 nm. The average particle size of my modified Ag/PANI nanoparticles decreased with increasing dose and decreasing of precursor concentration due to increase of nucleation process over aggregation process during gamma irradiation. The UV–Visible Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the TEM showed appreciated result of formation Ag/PANI which is going to be discussed in current studies.
