Electron‐Transfer Mediator Microbiosensor Fabrication Based on Immobilizing HRP‐Labeled Au Colloids on Gold Electrode Surface by 11‐Mercaptoundecanoic Acid Monolayer

In this paper, a new strategy for constructing a mediator‐type amperometric hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) microbiosensor was described. An electropolymerized thionine film (PTH) was deposited directly onto a gold electrode surface. The resulting redox film was extremely thin, adhered well onto a substrate (electrode), and had a highly cross‐linked network structure. Consequently, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was successfully immobilized on nanometer‐sized Au colloids, which were supported by thiol‐tailed groups of 11‐mercaptoundecanoic acid (11‐MUA) monolayer covalently bound onto PTH film. With the aid of the PTH mediator, HRP‐labeled Au colloids microbiosensor displayed excellent electrocatalytical response to the reduction of H₂O₂. This matrix showed a biocompatible microenvironment for retaining the native activity of the covalent HRP and a very low mass transport barrier to the substrate, which provided a fast amperometric response to H₂O₂. The proposed H₂O₂ microbiosensor exhibited linear range of 3.5 μM–0.7 mM with a detection limit of 0.05 μM (S/N=3). The response showed a Michaelis‐Menten behavior at larger H₂O₂ concentrations. The K_M^app value for the biosensors based on 24 nm Au colloids was found to be 47 μM, which demonstrated that HRP immobilized on Au colloids exhibited a high affinity to H₂O₂ with no loss of enzymatic activity. This microbiosensor possessed good analytical performance and storage stability.     

An ab initio potential energy surface for the υ4 vibrational mode of hydrogen peroxide

In this paper, the levels and the torsional microstates of hydrogen peroxide are determined from fully optimized ab initio calculations using a nuclear model in one dimension. Calculations have been performed at the MP2 level with the 6-311 G(2df,2pd), 6-31 1+G(2df,2pd), cc-pVTZ and AUG-cc-pVTZ basis sets including polarization orbitals and diffuse functions. The most stable conformation, calculated with the MP2/AUG-cc-pVTZ approach, is a trans–gauche conformer lying at 67.5° from the trans structure. By using the same level of calculations, the heights of the trans and cis barriers have been determined to be 386.5 and 2643.8 cm⁻¹ in a good agreement with the experimental data. The variational torsional levels split into four components by the tunnelling effect of the barriers. The splitting of the fundamental level caused by the trans barrier has been found to be 11.8683 cm⁻¹, whereas the splitting caused by the cis barrier is insignificant under n=2. Current ab initio energies confirm the experimental assignments and verify the separability of the torsion from the rest of the vibrations. However, the experimental relation of dependence on the torsion of the rotational constants cannot be reproduced in one-dimension and depends on several additional vibrational effects.     

Room temperature deposition of nanocrystalline cadmium peroxide thin film by electrochemical route

Nanocrystalline cadmium peroxide thin film has been electrodeposited on indium doped tin oxide glass substrate from aqueous solution at room temperature. The grain size of the nanocrystals of the film is estimated from XRD and is about 14 nm. The deposits are decomposed at 228 °C by formation of CdO, releasing plentiful heat at same time. The band-gap of the nanocrystalline CdO film made from decomposition of electrodeposited CdO₂ is around 2.4 eV.     

A Novel Enhancing Flow-Injection Chemiluminescence Method for the Determination of Glutathione Using the Reaction of Luminol with Hydrogen Peroxide

 A rapid flow-injection method with chemiluminescence (CL) detection is described for the determination of glutathione (GSH). The method is based on the CL reaction of luminol and hydrogen peroxide. GSH can greatly enhance the chemiluminescence intensity in 0.1 mol/L borax–sodium hydroxide buffer solution (pH = 9.7). The maximum CL intensity was directly proportional to the concentration of GSH in the range 3.0 × 10⁻⁷–2.0 × 10⁻⁵ mol/L, and the detection limit was 6.8 × 10⁻⁸ mol/L. The relative standard deviation was 3.4% for 5.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L of GSH (n = 11). Received October 23, 2001; accepted June 18, 2002

Encapsulation of Mithramycin in Liposomes in Response to a Transmembrane Gradient of Calcium Ions

The recent discovery that mithramycin(MTR) in aqueous solution forms a high affinity[Ca(MTR)4]2- complex led us to the idea thatCa2+-loaded liposomes might be able to accumulateMTR in their aqueous internal compartment. Wetherefore investigated the uptake of MTR into largeunilamellar vesicles (LUV) containing NaCl orCaCl2. Our data show that MTR was efficientlyaccumulated within LUV made fromdipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and cholesterol, onlywhen the liposomes contained Ca2+ and wereresuspended in a Ca2+-free medium. A drugencapsulation efficiency as high as 60% was achieved,at a drug to lipid molar ratio of 1/18. The circulardichroism and fluorescence excitation spectra ofliposome-encapsulated MTR (LMTR) displayed strongsimilarities with those of the [Ca(MTR)4]2-complex. LMTR was found to be stable, when submittedto conditions that destabilized the[Ca(MTR)4]2- complex. Upon dilution andincubation for 24 h at 37 °C, MTR-containingliposomes did not release a significant amount of MTR.These properties were attributed to the formation ofa high affinity complex between MTR and Ca2+inthe aqueous compartment of liposomes.
