漆树漆酶对共存二茂铁和亚铁氰化钾的催化氧化

漆酶是含铜金属酶,主要来源于漆树漆液(生漆)和真菌,分别称漆树漆酶和真菌漆酶。近年来,人们对漆酶的催化氧化反应的研究很感兴趣。已经发现漆酶的催化反应大多在水溶液中进行,氧化底物主要是邻、对苯二酚(胺)及其衍生物,对二茂铁(Fc-H)及其衍生物(Fc-R)的催化氧化尚不多见,对共存Fc-H和K_4Fe(CN)_6的催化氧化也未见报道,这可能与Fc-H和多数Fc-R不溶于水有关。本文选择二乙二醇单丁醚(DGBE)和磷酸盐缓冲液为混合溶剂,使Fc-H和K_4Fe(CN)_6以一定浓度共溶其中,考察了在该体系中漆树漆酶对Fc-H和K_4Fe(CN)_6的催化氧化反应。     

Investigations on the kinetics of electron transfer reactions in magnetic fields

There is a controversial debate if a magnetic field can influence the rate of electron transfer (ET) reactions. In this paper, we report kinetic measurements of the ET rate constants for the redox couples [IrCl6]2-/[IrCl6]3-, [Fe(CN)6]3-/[Fe(CN)6]4-, and [Fe(H2O)6]3+/[Fe(H2O)6]2+ in magnetic fields up to 1 T. To reduce effects arising from magnetically induced mass transport (magnetohydrodynamic effect), disk microelectrodes with a diameter of 50 microm were used in potentiodynamic (cyclic and linear sweep voltammetry) and in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments. None of the investigated redox couples showed a magnetic field effect on the ET rate constant.     

Investigation of the interactions between silver nanoparticles and Hela cells by scanning electrochemical microscopy

The interactions between Hela cells and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been studied by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) with both IrCl(6)(2-/3-) and Fe(CN)(6)(3-/4-) as the dual mediators. IrCl(6)(2-), which can be produced in situ and react with AgNPs, is used as the mediator between the AgNPs on the cells and the SECM tip. Another redox couple, Fe(CN)(6)(3-/4-), which has a similar hydrophilicity to IrCl(6)(2-/3-), but cannot react with AgNPs, is also employed for the contrast experiments. The cell array is cultured successfully onto a Petri dish by microcontact printing (muCP) technique, which can provide a basic platform for studying of single cells. The approach curve and line scan are the two methods of SECM employed here to study the Hela cells. The former can provide the information about the interaction between Hela cells and AgNPs whereas the later gives the cell imaging. The permeability of cell membranes and morphology are two main factors which have effects on the feedback mode signals when K(3)Fe(CN)(6) is used as the mediator. The permeability of the cell membranes can be ignored after interaction with high concentration of AgNP solution and the height of the Hela cells is slightly decreased in this process. The kinetic rate constants (k(0)) between IrCl(6)(2-) and Ag on the Hela cell can be evaluated using K(3)IrCl(6) as the mediator, and they are increased with the higher concentrations of the AgNP solutions. The k(0) is changed about 10 times from 0.43 +/- 0.04 x 10(-4) to 1.25 +/- 0.07 x 10(-4) and to 3.93 +/- 1.9 x 10(-4) cm s(-1) corresponding to 0, 1 and 5 mM of AgNO(3) solution. The experimental results demonstrate that the AgNPs can be adsorbed on the cell surface and detected by SECM. Thus, the amount of AgNPs adsorbed on cell membranes and the permeability or morphology changes can be investigated simultaneously using this approach. The dual mediator system and cell array fabricated by muCP technique can provide better reproducibility because they can simplify experiments, and provide a platform for further single cell detection.

Electrochemistry and kinetics of fungal laccase mediators

The screening of potential redox mediators for laccase was performed using homogeneous Trametes hirsuta laccase. Heterogeneous (electrochemical) and homogeneous (oxidation by laccase) reactions of the different types of the enhancers (mediators) of the enzyme were investigated. It was discovered that derivatives of phenyl-methyl-pyrazolones and benzoic acid, as well as N-hydroxynaphthalimide were efficient substrates for the laccase. The characterization of several representatives from each class was carried out using electrochemical and enzyme kinetics methods. The kinetic parameters for the oxidation of phenyl-methyl-pyrazolones and 3-(6-hylroxy)-aminobenzoic acid were comparable to those for 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) oxidation by the laccase, whereas the rate of enzymatic oxidation of N-hydroxynaphthalimide was sufficiently lower. Electrochemical experiments demonstrated that only oxidation of phenyl-methyl-pyrazolones and N-hydroxynaphthalimide yielded several high-potential intermediates capable of oxidizing veratryl alcohol, which was used as a lignin model substrate, whereas derivatives of benzoic acid showed low-potential intermediate, which was not able to oxidized lignin model compound. Phenyl-methyl-pyrazolones was about 50% as effective in degrading veratryl alcohol compared to ABTS as judged from HPLC kinetic studies, whereas N-hydroxynaphthalimide showed the same efficiency as ABTS. Phenyl-methyl-pyrazolones and hydroxynaphthalimides may be of commercial interest for oxidoreductase-catalyzed biodegradation of different xenobiotics.     

Overoxidation of phenol by hexachloroiridate(IV)

It has been previously established that the aqueous oxidation of phenol by a deficiency of [IrCl(6)](2-) proceeds through the production of [IrCl(6)](3-) and phenoxyl radicals. Coupling of the phenoxyl radicals leads primarily to 4,4'-biphenol, 2,2'-biphenol, 2,4'-biphenol, and 4-phenoxyphenol. Overoxidation occurs through the further oxidation of these coupling products, leading to a rather complex mixture of final products. The rate laws for oxidation of the four coupling products by [IrCl(6)](2-) have the same form as those for the oxidation of phenol itself: -d[Ir(IV)]/dt = {(k(ArOH) + k(ArO(-))K(a)/[H(+)])/(1 + K(a)/[H(+)])}[ArOH](tot)[Ir(IV)]. Values for k(ArOH) and k(ArO(-)) have been determined for the four substrates at 25 °C and are assigned to H(2)O-PCET and electron-transfer mechanisms, respectively. Kinetic simulations of a combined mechanism that includes the rate of oxidation of phenol as well as the rates of these overoxidation steps show that the degree of overoxidation is rather limited at high pH but quite extensive at low pH. This pH-dependent overoxidation leads to a pH-dependent stoichiometric factor in the rate law for oxidation of phenol and causes some minor deviations in the rate law for oxidation of phenol. Empirically, these minor deviations can be accommodated by the introduction of a third term in the rate law that includes a "pH-dependent rate constant", but this approach masks the mechanistic origins of the effect.     

Characterization of spiroiminodihydantoin as a product of one-electron oxidation of 8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine

[reaction: see text] Further oxidation of the common DNA lesion 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine by one-electron oxidants such as IrCl6(2-), Fe(CN)6(3-), or SO4-* leads to two major products, depending upon reaction conditions. In nucleosides at pH 7, 22 degrees C, the principal product is shown herein to be a spiroiminodihydantoin nucleoside, as a diastereomeric mixture, that can be characterized by NMR, ESI-MS/MS, and independent synthesis.     

Use of Screen‐printed Electrodes Modified by Prussian Blue and Analogues in Sensing of Cysteine

The utilisation of screen‐printing technology allows for a mass scalable approach for the production of electrochemical screen‐printed electrodes (SPEs) and the presence of a redox mediator can add new possibilities to the electrochemical properties of the SPEs. Among the materials used as redox mediators, cyanidoferrates polymers can be used for electro‐oxidation of cysteine. In this work, two monomers, namely, [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ and [Fe(CN)₅NH₃]³⁻ were used to produce Prussian blue (PB) and Prussian blue‐Ammine (PB‐Ammine), respectively. In addition, two modification methods were compared, firstly via a drop‐casting and secondly by the incorporation of these materials into a printable ink. The SPE modified by PB‐Ammine (drop‐casting) exhibits the highest electroactive area, however the highest heterogeneous rate constant was found with the SPE modified by PB‐Ammine that was incorporated into the ink. The highest value of the constant of electro‐oxidation of cysteine and lowest limit of detection was also observed in the SPE modified by PB incorporated into the ink. These studies suggest that the electrocatalytic properties of SPE modified by PB and PB‐Ammine are dependent upon the availability of Fe³⁺ catalytic sites and the increased kinetics of the chemical reaction between the catalytic sites and the analyte.     

The role of the electrical double layer and ion pairing on the electrochemical oxidation of hexachloroiridate(III) at Pt electrodes of nanometer dimensions

The steady-state voltammetric oxidation of hexachloroiridate(III), IrCl6(3-) (1-5 mM), in the presence and absence of an excess supporting electrolyte was investigated at disk- and hemispherical-shaped Pt electrodes with radii ranging from 48 nm to 12.5 microm. Thermodynamic, kinetic, and transport parameters that define the shape and magnitude of the voltammetric wave exhibit a complex dependence on whether a supporting electrolyte is present in the solution. First, the half-wave potential, E1/2, for oxidation of IrCl6(3-) shifts to more positive potentials in the presence of a supporting electrolyte, a consequence of the relative difference in the strength of ion pairing of IrCl6(3-) and IrCl6(2-) by the supporting electrolyte cation. E1/2 increases in the order no electrolyte < n-tetrabutylammonium < Na+ approximately K+ approximately Ca2+, but is independent of the supporting electrolyte anion (Cl-, NO3-, PF6-). Second, the heterogeneous electron-transfer rate constant for oxidation of IrCl6(3-) increases by approximately an order of magnitude in the presence of a supporting electrolyte. Third, in the absence of electrolyte, mass transport limited currents deviate significantly from predicted values based on the Nernst-Planck equation, but only when the electrode radius is smaller than ca. 1 microm. The latter two effects (Frumkin and dynamic diffuse layer effects) result from the dependence of interfacial electrical fields and, thus, the rates of electron-transfer and ion migration, on the supporting electrolyte concentration. We also demonstrate that the theoretical shape of the voltammetric response for oxidation or reduction of a highly charged redox species (e.g., IrCl6(3-)) is essentially independent of whether a supporting electrolyte is present in the solution. This finding can greatly simplify the analysis of heterogeneous electron-transfer rates using steady-state voltammetry in low ionic strength solutions.     

Degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rigidoporus lignosus</Emphasis> and its Laccase in the Presence of Redox Mediators

The metabolism of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was studied in vivo and in vitro in systems consisting of Rigidoporus lignosus and its laccase, in the presence of so-called “mediator” compounds. The static culture of the native fungal strain was able to metabolize anthracene and 2-methylanthracene, but not 9-nitroanthracene. The addition of redox mediators 2,2’-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) or violuric acid (VA) led to a significant increase in the degradation of substrates. The oxidation of PAHs was not significant when purified laccase was used without the addition of mediators. The addition of these compounds increased the oxidation of all substrates by approximately 70–80% after 72 h of incubation. The degradation rate was highest for 2-methylanthracene in the presence of VA.     

Scanning electrochemical microscopy. 51. Studies of self-assembled monolayers of DNA in the absence and presence of metal ions

Scanning electrochemical microscopy was used to examine electron transfer across a self-assembled monolayer of thiol-modified DNA duplexes on a gold electrode. The apparent rate constant for heterogeneous ET from a solution redox probe, Fe(CN)6(3-/4-), to the gold surface through ds-DNA was 4.6 (+/-0.2) x 10(-7) cm/s. With the addition of Zn2+, which resulted in the formation of a metalated DNA (M-DNA) monolayer, the rate constant increased to 5.0 (+/-0.3) x 10(-6) cm/s. Upon treating M-DNA with EDTA, the zinc ions were released from the monolayer and the original rate constant for the DNA duplexes was restored. The enhanced ET rate was also observed at a DNA monolayer treated with Ca2+ or Mg2+, which does not complex by the DNA bases to form M-DNA. The binding of these cations facilitated the monolayer penetration by the probe mediator Fe(CN)6(3-/4-) and accordingly caused an increased redox signal of the mediator at the ds-DNA-modified electrode. Cationic or neutral mediators were not blocked by the ds-DNA monolayer. These results suggest that although the increased electron transport through M-DNA could partially be ascribed to the intrinsic enhancement of electric conductivity of M-DNA, which has been confirmed by photochemical studies, the change in the surface charge of DNA monolayers on the electrode caused by the binding of metal ions to DNA molecules may play a more important role in the enhancement of current with M-DNA.     

Effect of applied potential on arylmethyl films oxidatively grafted to carbon surfaces

Arylmethyl films have been grafted to glassy carbon surfaces and to pyrolyzed photoresist films (PPFs) by electrochemical oxidation of 1-naphthylmethylcarboxylate and 4-methoxybenzylcarboxylate. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electrochemistry were used to characterize the as-prepared films and to monitor changes induced by post-preparation treatments. Film thickness was measured by depth profiling using an AFM tip to remove film from the PPF surface. Surface coverage of electroactive modifiers was estimated from cyclic voltammetry, and monitoring the response of a solution-based redox probe at grafted surfaces gave a qualitative indication of changes in film properties. For preparation of the films, the maximum film thickness increased with the potential applied during grafting, and all films were of multilayer thickness. The apparent rate of electron transfer for the Fe(CN)(6)3-/Fe(CN)(6)4- couple was very low at as-prepared films. After film-grafted electrodes were transferred to pure acetonitrile-electrolyte solution and subjected to negative potential excursions, the response of the Fe(CN)(6)3-/Fe(CN)(6)4- couple changed and was consistent with faster electron-transfer kinetics, the film thickness decreased and the surface roughness increased substantially. Applying a positive potential to the treated film reversed changes in film thickness, but the voltammetric response of the Fe(CN)(6)3-/Fe(CN)(6)4- couple remained kinetically fast. After as-prepared films were subjected to positive applied potentials in acetonitrile-electrolyte solution, the apparent rate of electron transfer for the Fe(CN)(6)3-/Fe(CN)(6)4- couple remained very slow and the measured film thickness was the same or greater than that before treatment at positive potentials. Mechanisms are considered to explain the observed effects of applied potential on film characteristics.     

Evaluation of Some Redox Mediators in the Design of Reagentless Amperometric Glucose Biosensor

The influence of redox mediators (tetrathiafulvalene (TTF), tetrathiafulvalene‐tetracyanoquinodimethane complex (TTF‐TCNQ), phenazine methosulfate (PMS), 5,6‐diamino‐1,10‐phenonthroline (5,6‐DAP), potassium ferrocyanide (K4[Fe(CN)6]), methylene blue (MB) and toluidine blue (TB)) on the response of amperometric glucose biosensor was investigated in this research. Graphite rod electrode (GRE) modified by adsorbed mediator and glucose oxidase (GOx) cross‐linked with glutaraldehyde was served as working electrode. The highest amperometric signals were observed by using TTF and TTF‐TCNQ as mediators. The impact of amount of immobilized GOx, an optimal pH region for operation, stability and reproducibility of the analytic signal of designed biosensor using these mediators were investigated and discussed.

Metallic and non-metallic redox response of conducting polymers

The potentiometric response of electrodes coated with polypyrrole or poly(N-methylpyrrole) films with different doping anions was studied in solutions containing the redox couples: Fe(CN)₆^3−/4−, Ru(NH₃)₆^3+/2+ and Fe(Ill)/Fe(II). The stable potential measured with the electrodes was the potential of the redox couple. The response time was instant for polypyrrole doped with dodecylsulphate ions, PPy(DS) and slow for the polymers doped with mobile anions. On the basis of electrochemical measurements and chemical analysis by EDAX spectroscopy it was found that with the PPy(DS) electrode the potentiometric response was of the ‘metallic’ type, with no change in the oxidation state of the bulk polymer. With the other polymer systems studied reduction or oxidation of the polymer bulk took place when it was in contact with a redox couple in the solution.

Electrochemical characterization of the redox couple of Fe(III)/Fe(II) mediated by grafted polymer reference electrode (GPRE)

A grafted polymer reference electrode (GPRE) (polystyrene grafted with acrylonitrile as a monomer using gamma irradiation) was fabricated as a reference electrode using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The redox process of K₃Fe(CN)₆ during CV was studied. It was found that the redox current peaks of Fe(II)/Fe(III) in 0.1 M of KCl as supporting electrolyte is given the same oxidation–reduction current as in the Ag/AgCl reference electrode, indicating a good result of GPRE and, hence, it can be used for voltammetric analysis technique. The physical properties of GPRE include good hardness, insoluble in non-aqueous electrolytes (except dimethyl formamide and chloroform), and good stability at different solvents. In addition, the sensitivity under conditions of CV is significantly dependent on the scan rate (SR) and variation in concentration. At different SRs, redox peaks of K₃Fe(CN)₆ were observed in a reversible process: Fe(II)/Fe(III). Interestingly, the redox reaction of Fe(II)/Fe(III) solution using GCE versus GPRE remains constant even after 15 cyclings. It is therefore evident that the GPRE possesses some degree of stability. Also, the new reference electrode GPRE has improved the properties of electroanalysis of CV on the working electrode GCE in reliability with the relative standard deviation.

Characterization and application of an electrode modified by mechanically immobilized copper hexacyanoferrate

A newly modified electrode was prepared by mechanical immobilization of copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) on a graphite electrode. The modified electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetric experiments. The effect of different background electrolytes, pHs and scan rates on the electrochemical behaviour of the electrode has been evaluated. In NH₄Cl two reversible redox peaks were observed. The first redox peak corresponding to Cu⁺/Cu²⁺ is observed only in this medium. The second redox peak corresponds to the Fe(CN)₆ ^4–/Fe(CN)₆ ^3– couple. Both anodic peaks were used for catalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid. As the anodic current for catalytic oxidation was proportional to the amount of ascorbic acid, an analytical method was developed for the determination of ascorbic acid in commercial samples.
