Electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of hemoglobin in Nafion/nano-CaCO3 film on a new ionic liquid BPPF6 modified carbon paste electrode

Room temperature ionic liquid N-butylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate (BPPF6) was used as a binder to construct a new carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE), which exhibited enhanced electrochemical behavior as compared with the traditional carbon paste electrode with paraffin. By using the CILE as the basal electrode, hemoglobin (Hb) was immobilized on the surface of the CILE with nano-CaCO3 and Nafion film step by step. The Hb molecule in the film kept its native structure and showed good electrochemical behavior. In pH 7.0 Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer solution, a pair of well-defined, quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks appeared with cathodic and anodic peak potentials located at -0.444 and -0.285 V (vs SCE), respectively, and the formal potential (E degrees') was at -0.365 V, which was the characteristic of Hb Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couples. The formal potential of Hb shifted linearly to the increase of buffer pH with a slope of -50.6 mV pH-1, indicating that one electron transferred was accompanied with one proton transportation. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy studies showed that Hb immobilized in the Nafion/nano-CaCO3 film still remained its native arrangement. The Hb modified electrode showed an excellent electrocatalytic behavior to the reduction of H2O2, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and NaNO2.

用壳聚糖对多壁碳纳米管进行修饰,构建了一种用于固定血红蛋白的新型复合材料,并研究了血红蛋白在该碳纳米管上的电化学性质及其对过氧化氢的电催化活性.扫描电镜结果表明,壳聚糖修饰的多壁碳纳米管呈单一的纳米管状,并能均匀分散在玻碳电极表面.紫外光谱分析表明血红蛋白在该复合膜内能很好地保持其原有的二级结构.将该材料固定在玻碳电极上后,血红蛋白能成功地实现其直接电化学.根据峰电位差随着扫描的变化,计算得到血红蛋白在壳聚糖修饰的碳纳米管膜上的电荷转移系数为0.57,表观电子转移速率常数为7.02 s-1.同时,该电极对过氧化氢显示出良好的催化性能,电流响应信号与H2O2浓度在1.0×10-6 ～1.5×10-3 mol/L间呈线性关系,检出限为5.0×10-7 mol/L.修饰电极显示了良好的稳定性.     

Direct electron transfer and bioelectrocatalysis of hemoglobin on nano-structural attapulgite clay-modified glassy carbon electrode

Direct electrochemistry of hemoglobin (Hb) on natural nano-structural attapulgite clay film-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode was investigated. The interaction between Hb and attapulgite was examined using UV-vis, FTIR spectroscopy, and electrochemical methods. The immobilized Hb displayed a couple of well-defined and quasi-reversible redox peaks with the formal potential (E(0')) of about -0.366 V (versus SCE) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.0. The current was linearly dependent on the scan rate, indicating that the direct electrochemistry of Hb in that case was a surface-controlled electrode process. The formal potential changed linearly from pH 5.0 to 9.0 with a slope value of -48.2 mV/pH, which suggested that a proton transfer was accompanied with each electron transfer in the electrochemical reaction. The immobilized Hb exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide without the aid of an electron mediator. The electrocatalytic response showed a linear dependence on the H(2)O(2) concentration ranging from 5.4 x 10(-6) to 4.0 x 10(-4) M with the detection of 2.4 x 10(-6) M at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant K(M)(app) for the H(2)O(2) sensor was estimated to be 490 microM, showing a high affinity.     

Direct electron transfer of cytochrome C and its electrocatalytic properties on multiwalled carbon nanotubes/ciprofloxacin films

In this study, stable and homogenous thin films of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were obtained on conducting surface using ciprofloxacin (CF, fluoroquinolone antibiotic) as an effective-dispersing agent. Further, MWCNTs/CF film modified electrodes (glassy carbon and indium tin oxide-coated glass electrode) are used successfully to study the direct electrochemistry of proteins. Here, cytochrome C (Cyt-C) was used as a model protein for investigation. A MWCNTs/CF film modified electrode was used as a biocompatible material for immobilization of Cyt-C from a neutral buffer solution (pH 7.2) using cyclic voltammetry (CV). Interestingly, Cyt-C retained its native state on the MWCNTs/CF film. The Cyt-C adsorbed MWCNTs/CF film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV–visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis) and CV. SEM images showed the evidence for the adsorption of Cyt-C on the MWCNTs/CF film, and UV–vis spectrum confirmed that Cyt-C was in its native state on MWCNTs/CF film. Using CV, it was found that the electrochemical signal of Cyt-C was highly stable in the neutral buffer solution and its redox peak potential was pH dependent. The formal potential (−0.27 V) and electron transfer rate constant (13 ± 1 s⁻¹) were calculated for Cyt-C on MWCNTs/CF film modified electrode. A potential application of the Cyt-C/MWCNTs/CF electrode as a biosensor to monitor H₂O₂ has been investigated. The steady-state current response increases linearly with H₂O₂ concentration from 2 × 10⁻⁶ to 7.8 × 10⁻⁵ M. The detection limit for determination of H₂O₂ has been found to be 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ M (S/N = 3). Thus, Cyt-C/MWCNTs/CF film modified electrode can be used as a biosensing material for sensor applications.     

Biopolymer and carbon nanotubes interface prepared by self-assembly for studying the electrochemistry of microperoxidase-11

Stable films of biopolymer chitosan and carbon nanotubes were prepared by a layer-by-layer self-assembly technique. Atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and UV-vis spectroscopy were used to characterize the film assembly. Atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy showed that an even, stable film was formed. The UV-vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry study indicated the uniform growth of the film. The property of the self-assembled multilayer film in promoting protein electron transfer was demonstrated by incorporating microperoxidase-11 in the film. Microperoxidase-11 in the multilayer film could transfer electrons with the electrode indicating that carbon nanotubes could wire the protein to the electrode. The electrocatalytic activity of the microperoxidase-11 containing multilayer film-modified electrode toward H(2)O(2) and O(2) was investigated. The results showed that along with the increase in the assembled layers the electrocatalytic reduction potentials of H(2)O(2) and O(2) shifted positively. The prepared multilayer film of chitosan and carbon nanotubes containing protein was a sensitive interface for electrocatalytic study.     

Electro-oxidation and determination of antihistamine drug, cetirizine dihydrochloride at glassy carbon electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes

A multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) film-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was constructed for the determination of an antihistamine drug, cetirizine dihydrochloride (CTZH) using cyclic voltammetry (CV). Owing to the unique structure and extraordinary properties of MWCNT, the MWCNT film has shown an obvious electrocatalytic activity towards oxidation of CTZH, since it facilitates the electron transfer and significantly enhances the oxidation peak current of CTZH. All experimental parameters have been optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the oxidation peak current was linearly proportional to the concentration of CTZH in the range from 5.0×10(-7) to 1.0×10(-5)M. The detection limit was 7.07×10(-8)M with 180s accumulation. Finally, the proposed sensitive and simple electrochemical method was successfully applied to CTZH determination in pharmaceutical and urine samples.     

Glucose and choline on-line biosensors based on electropolymerized Meldola's blue

Electropolymerized film of Meldola's blue (MB) was prepared and demonstrated as electron shuttle between the immobilized horse peroxidase (HRP) and glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for sensing hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) produced by enzyme catalytical reactions. Electrochemical polymerization of Meldola's blue was carried out by cyclic voltammetry (CV) in a phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.00) in a potential window from -0.60 to +1.30 V. The pH of the electropolymerization solution was found to be closely related to the resulted polymeric MB and the best polymeric film was obtained in a pH 7.00 phosphate buffer. The polymeric MB was demonstrated to shuttle the electron transfer between the immobilized HRP and GCE and utilized as a mediator for HRP immobilized biosensor for biocatalytical reduction of H(2)O(2) at a potential of -0.30 V (versus AgCl/Ag). The H(2)O(2) sensing system was applied to construct glucose and choline on-line sensors by wiring H(2)O(2) produced by enzyme oxidase catalytical reaction. The possibility of these sensors as on-line detectors for on-line and continuous measurement was explored off-line. The operating potential, interference, and lifetime of these sensors were also examined.

Myoglobin/sol-gel film modified electrode: direct electrochemistry and electrochemical catalysis

Direct electrochemical and electrocatalytic behavior of myoglobin (Mb) immobilized on carbon paste electrode (CPE) by a silica sol-gel film derived from tetraethyl orthosilicate was investigated for the first time. Mb/sol-gel film modified electrodes show a pair of well-defined and nearly reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks for the Mb Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couple at about -0.298 V (vs Ag/AgCl) in a pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution. The formal potential of the Mb heme Fe(III)/Fe(II) couple shifted linearly with pH with a slope of 52.4 mV/pH, denoting that an electron transfer accompanies single-proton transportation. An FTIR and UV-vis spectroscopy study confirms that the secondary structure of Mb immobilized on an electrode by a sol-gel film still maintains the original arrangement. The immobilized Mb displays the features of a peroxidase and acts in an electrocatalytic manner in the reduction of oxygen, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and nitrite. In comparison to other electrodes, the chemically modified electrodes used in this study for direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of Mb are easy to fabricate and fairly inexpensive. Consequently, the Mb/sol-gel film modified electrode provides a convenient way to perform electrochemical research on this kind of protein. It also has potential use in the fabrication of bioreactors and third-generation biosensors.

The electrocatalytic properties of the resulting Pt/MWCNT electrode for methanol oxidation have been investigated. The high electrocatalytic activity and good stability of Pt/MWCNT electrode may be attributed to the high dispersion of platinum nanoparticles and the particular properties of the MWCNT supports.     

Voltammetric Determination of Folic Acid Using Adsorption of Methylene Blue onto Electrodeposited of Reduced Graphene Oxide Film Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

This work presents a sensitive voltammetric method for determination of folic acid by adsorbing methylene blue onto electrodeposited reduced graphene oxide film modified glassy carbon electrode (MB/ERGO/GCE) in 100 mM KCl‐10 mM sodium phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.40). The surface morphology of the MB/ERGO/GCE modified electrode was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, displays that both MB and ERGO distributed homogeneously on the surface of GCE. The MB/ERGO/GCE modified electrode shows more favorable electron transfer kinetics for potassium ferricyanide and potassium ferrocyanide probe molecules, which are important electroactive compounds, compared with bare GCE, MB/GCE, and ERGO/GCE. The electrochemical behaviors of folic acid at MB/ERGO/GCE were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, suggesting that the modified electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards folic acid compared with other electrodes. Under physiological condition, the MB/ERGO/GCE modified electrode showed a linear voltammetric response from 4.0 μM to 167 μM for folic acid, and with the detection limit of 0.5 μM (S/N=3). The stability, reproducibility and anti‐interference ability of the modified electrode were examined. The developed method has been successfully applied to determination of FA in tablets with a satisfactory recovery from 96 % to 100 %. The work demonstrated that the electroactive MB adsorbing onto graphene modified electrode showed an enhanced electron transfer property and a high resolution capacity to FA.
