Effect of interfering substances on current response of recombinant peroxidase and glucose oxidase-recombinant peroxidase modified graphite electrodes.

Graphite electrodes have been modified with different forms of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). These included native HRP, wild-type recombinant HRP, and two single-point recombinant HRP mutants, N70V and N70D. The mediator-less response of these electrodes to H2O2 was studied indicating that electrodes modified with recombinant HRP forms are more stable than those modified with native HRP. Various interfering compounds were investigated for their effect on the current response to H2O2. It was found that interferences such as acetaminophen and dopamine affected the response by mediating the electron transfer (ET) between graphite and peroxidases. The mediating behaviour manifested itself as an increased current of the electrode to H2O2. The interfering effect was less pronounced for the electrodes modified with recombinant HRPs possessing better electronic coupling with the graphite surface. The interfering behaviour of acetaminophen on the response for glucose with the bienzyme electrode containing co-immobilised glucose oxidase and HRP was mainly ascribed to mediation of ET between graphite and HRP. It was experimentally proven that a high efficiency of direct ET between graphite and recombinant HRP substantially reduces the interfering effect of acetaminophen.     

Adsorption of differently charged forms of horseradish peroxidase on metal electrodes of different nature: effect of surface charges

The adsorption and bioelectrocatalytical activity in the reaction of H(2)O(2) reduction of two forms of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) offering different surface charges at pH 6.0 were studied on gold and silver electrodes. Positively charged HRP was assessed at pH 6.0 for the case of native HRP (isoenzyme C, pI=8.8), and negatively charged HRP for the case of native HRP exposed to previous oxidation of carbohydrate residues and further introduction of sulfonate groups (pI=5.0). Under oxidative pretreatment, the gold electrode surface was considered to be negatively charged. Data on the direct immobilisation of HRPs on the bare gold surfaces were estimated with quartz crystal microbalance and data on bioelectrocatalytical activity of peroxidases on gold and silver electrodes were obtained in the course of direct and mediated amperometric detection of H(2)O(2). The presented results demonstrate that the surface charges of both the enzyme and the electrode play a dominant role in the immobilisation and, thereby, in the efficiency of the bioelectrocatalytical processes.     

Electrochemical studies on reconstituted horseradish peroxidase modified carbon paste electrodes

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is a heme protein that acts specifically on H(2)O(2) as the electron acceptor. Hemin (Ferriprotoporhyrin-IX) is the prosthetic group of the enzyme. A direct molecular wire to the redox center of the enzyme is expected to enhance the electrochemical response of the enzyme. Native HRP was immobilized onto the surface of glassy carbon (GC) matrix using a 16-atom spacer arm. We have also immobilized the redox center of the enzyme (hemin) through one of the propionate groups onto the surface of glassy carbon matrix using an 11-atom spacer arm with amino terminus. Apoperoxidase was isolated according to the Teale's method and was allowed to reconstitute with the hemin-bound matrix for enzyme reconstitution. The HRP paste and reconstituted-HRP (rec-HRP) paste electrodes were used to study the electrochemical response to substrate H(2)O(2) using electrochemical techniques like cyclic voltammetry (CV) and flow injection (FI) studies. Flow injection studies using HRP paste electrode showed a linearity from 25 to 200 microM H(2)O(2). The rec-HRP paste showed approximately 100 times increase in the electron transfer rates compared to native HRP paste, and substrate linearity from 25 to 100 microM was observed.

Spectroelectrochemical investigation of direct electron transfer between resting horseradish peroxidase and its oxidation states promoted by DNA

Direct electron transfer between resting horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and its oxidation states was observed at a gold mesh electrode in a spectroelectrochemical cell in the presence of DNA. The conversion between HRP and the oxidized species induced electrochemically was found to be reversible and parallel to that initiated chemically. DNA played an important role as electron carrier and promoted the electron transfer between HRP and the electrodes. Voltammetric results and CD spectra indicated an interaction between HRP and DNA. Moreover, the secondary structure of HRP was slightly disturbed upon mixing with DNA. The direct spectroelectrochemistry of HRP at a gold mesh electrode presented new information on its bioelectrochemical characteristics.     

Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis with horseradish peroxidase in Eastman AQ films

Stable films made from ionomer poly(ester sulfonic acid) or Eastman AQ29 on pyrolytic graphite (PG) electrodes gave direct electrochemistry for incorporated enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Cyclic voltammetry of HRP-AQ films showed a pair of well-defined, nearly reversible peaks at about -0.33 V vs. SCE at pH 7.0 in blank buffers, characteristic of HRP heme Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couple. The electron transfer between HRP and PG electrode was greatly facilitated in AQ films. The electrochemical parameters such as apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (k(s)) and formal potential (E(o')) were estimated by fitting the data of square-wave voltammetry (SWV) with nonlinear regression analysis. Reflectance absorption infrared (RAIR) and UV-Vis absorption spectra demonstrated that HRP retained a near native conformation in AQ films. The embedded HRP in AQ films retained the electrocatalytic activity for oxygen, nitrite and hydrogen peroxide. Possible mechanism of catalytic reduction of H(2)O(2) with HRP-AQ films was proposed.

Direct electrochemistry of horseradish peroxidase immobilized on electrografted 4-ethynylphenyl film via click chemistry

In this paper, a simple two-step approach for redox protein immobilization was introduced. Firstly, alkynyl-terminated film was formed on electrode surface by electrochemical reduction of 4-ethylnylphenyl (4-EP) diazonium compound. Then, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) modified with azido group was covalently immobilized onto the electrografted film via click reaction. Reflection absorption infrared (RAIR) spectroscopy and electrochemical methods were used to characterize the modification process. The results indicate that HRP retains its native structure and shows fast direct electron transfer. Moreover, the immobilized HRP shows excellent electrocatalytic reduction activity toward H(2)O(2) with a linear range of 5.0×10(-6) to 9.3×10(-4) mol L(-1).

Effect of pH on direct electron transfer in the system gold electrode-recombinant horseradish peroxidase.

The effect of pH on the kinetics of the bioelectrocatalytic reduction of H(2)O(2) catalysed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) has been studied at -50 mV vs. Agmid R:AgCl on HRP-modified Au electrodes placed in a wall-jet flow-through electrochemical cell. Native HRP (nHRP) and a nonglycosylated recombinant form containing a six-histidine tag at the C-terminus, C(His)rHRP, produced by genetic engineering of nonglycosylated recombinant HRP using an E. coli expression system, have been used for adsorptive modification of Au electrodes. A favourable adsorption of C(His)rHRP on pre-oxidized Au from a protein solution at pH 6.0 provided a high and stable current response to H(2)O(2) due to its bioelectrocatalytic reduction based on direct (mediator-less) electron transfer (ET) between Au and the active site of HRP. The heterogeneous ET rate constant, k(s), calculated from experimental data on direct ET, on mediated ET in the presence of catechol as well as from microbalance data, increased more than 30 times when changing from nHRP to C(His)rHRP. For both forms of HRP, the increasing efficiency of bioelectrocatalysis with increasing [H(3)O(+)] was observed. The values of the apparent k(s) between C(His)rHRP and Au changed from a value of 12+/-2 s(-1) in PBS at pH 8.0 to a value of 434+/-62 s(-1) at pH 6.0; a similar k(s)-pH dependence was also observed for nHRP, providing the possibility to consider the reaction mechanism involving the participation of a proton in the rate-determining step of the charge transfer.     

Effect of the structure of imidazolium cations in [BF4](-)-type ionic liquids on direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of horseradish peroxidase in Nafion films

The direct electrochemistry and bioelectrocatalysis of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in Nafion films at glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was investigated in three [BF(4)](-)-type room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) to understand the structural effect of imidazolium cations. The three ILs are 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Emim][BF(4)]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim][BF(4)]) and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Hmim][BF(4)]). A small amount of water in the three ILs is indispensable for maintaining the electrochemical activity of HRP in Nafion films, and the optimum water contents decrease with the increase of alkyl chain length on imidazole ring. Analysis shows that the optimum water contents are primarily determined by the hydrophilicity of ILs used. In contrast to aqueous medium, ILs media facilitate the direct electron transfer of HRP, and the electrochemical parameters obtained in different ILs are obviously related to the nature of ILs. The direct electron transfer between HRP and GCE is a surface-confined quasi-reversible single electron transfer process. The apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant decreases gradually with the increase of alkyl chain length on imidazole ring, but the changing extent is relatively small. The electrocatalytic reduction current of H(2)O(2) at the present electrode decreases obviously with the increase of alkyl chain length, and the mass transfer of H(2)O(2) via diffusion in ILs should be responsible for the change. In addition, the modified electrode has good stability and reproducibility; the ability to tolerate high levels of F(-) has been greatly enhanced due to the use of Nafion film. When an appropriate mediator is included in the sensing layer, a sensitive nonaqueous biosensor could be fabricated.

Mesoporous Materials Promoting Direct Electrochemistry and Electrocatalysis of Horseradish Peroxidase

The direct electron transfer and electrocatalysis of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) immobilized on hexagonal mesoporous silicas (HMS) matrix was studied. The interaction between HRP and HMS was examined by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption isotherms and electrochemical methods. The immobilized HRP at a modified glassy carbon electrode showed a good direct electrochemical behavior, which depended on the specific properties of the HMS. Two couples of redox peaks corresponding to Fe(III) to Fe(II) conversion of the HRP intercalated in the mesopores and adsorbed on the external surface of the HMS were observed with the formal potentials of ?0.315 and ?0.161 V in 0.1 M pH 7.0 PBS, respectively. The amount of HRP intercalated in the mesopores of HMS proved to be related to the pore size. The HRP intercalated in the mesopores showed a surface controlled electrode process with a single proton transfer. The immobilized HRP displayed an excellent electrocatalytic response to the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) without the aid of an electron mediator. The HMS provided a novel matrix for protein immobilization and direct electron transfer study of the immobilized protein.     

Electorchemical Studies of Cytochrome c on Electodes Modified by Single—Wall Carbon Naotubes

Single-wall carbon nanotubes(SWNTs) modified gold electrodes were prepared by using two different methods.The electrochemical behavior of cytochrome c on the modified gold electrodes was investigated.The first kind of SWNT-modified electrode (noted as SWNT/Au electrode)was prepared by the adsorption of carboxylterminated SWNTs from DMF dispersion on the gold electrode.The oxidatively processed SWNT tips were covalently modified by coupling with amines (AET) to form amide linkage.Via Au-S chemical bonding,the self-assembled monolayer of thiol-unctionalized nanotubes on gold surface was fabricated so as to prepare the others SWNT-modified electrode (noted as SWNT/AET/Au electrode).It was shown from cyclic voltammetry cxperiments that cytochrome c exhibited direct electrochemical responses on the both electrodes, but only the current of controlled diffusion existed on the SWNT/Au electrode while both the currents of controlled diffusion and adsorption of cytochrome c occurred on the SWNT/AET/Au electrode.Photoelastic Modulation Infared Reflection Absorpthion Spectroscopy (PEM-IRRAS) and Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) were employed to verify the adsorption of SWNTs on the gold electrodes.The results proved that SWNTs could enhance the direct electron transfer proecss between the electrodes and redox proteins.

The high efficiency of the Hb/GNP/BDT modified gold electrode towards the catalytic electro-reduction of oxygen has been observed and the potential application of Hb/GNP/BDT modified gold electrode as biosensors to monitor O2 is proposed. The electrocatalytic response showed a linear dependence on the O2 concentration ranging from 2.0 to 40.0 micromol/L.

Hydrogen Peroxide Sensor Based on Horseradish Peroxidase Combined with CaCO3 Microspheres and Gold Nanoparticles

Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of horseradish peroxidase(HRP) were achieved by entrapping the enzyme between CaCO3 microspheres and gold nanoparticles through forming sandwich configuration (CaCO3-HRP-AuNPs). Polyanion, poly(styrene sulfonate)(PSS), was hybrid with CaCO3 microspheres to increase the surface negative charges for binding with HRP through electrostatic interaction. After the bioconjugate CaCO3 PSS-HRP was entrapped in chitosan based sol-gel(CS-GPTMS) film, HRP was encapsulated by in situ formation of an outer layer of AuNPs through electrochemical reduction of HAuCl4. The composite film containing AuNPs, CaCO3-PSS-HRP bioconjugates and CS-GPTMS can provide favorable microenvironment for HRP to perform direct electron transfer at glassy carbon electrode(GCE). HRP retained its bioelectrocatalytic activity and lead to sensitive and fast amperometric response for the determination of H2O2. H2O2 could be detected in a very wide linear range from 5.0×10–6 mol/L to 7.1×10–2 mol/L. The sandwich configuration of CaCO3-biomolecules-AuNPs could serve as a versatile platform for enzyme immobilization and biosensing.
