Das Verhalten des sauerstoffabhängigen Photostroms wurde dabei in Abhängigkeit des pH-Wertes und des Potentials untersucht. Auf Grundlage dieser Sauerstoffabhängigkeit wurde die Enzymaktivität von GOD über Photostrommessungen evaluiert. Für die Konstruktion eines photobioelektrochemischen Sensors, der durch Beleuchtung der entsprechenden Elektrodenfläche ausgelesen werden kann, wurden Multischichten auf die CdSe/ZnS-modifizierten Elektroden aufgetragen. Die Layer-by-Layer Deposition von GOD mit Hilfe des Polyelektrolyten PAH zeigte, dass eine Sensorkonstruktion möglich ist. Die Sensoreigenschaften dieser Elektroden werden drastisch durch die Menge an immobilisiertem Enzym auf der Quantum Dot-Schicht beeinflusst. Durch die Präparation von vier Bilayern [GOD/PAH]4 an CdSe/ ZnS Elektroden kann ein schnell ansprechbarer Sensor für Konzentrationen zwischen 0.1 – 5 mM Glukose hergestellt werden. Dies eröffnet neue Möglichkeiten für die Multianalytdetektion mit nichtstrukturierten Sensorelektroden, lokalisierten Enzymen und räumlich aufgelöster Auslesung durch Licht. N2 - This study reports on the oxygen sensitivity of quantum dot electrodes modified with CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals. The photocurrent behaviour is analysed in dependence on pH and applied potential by potentiostatic and potentiodynamic measurements. On the basis of the influence of the oxygen content in solution on the photocurrent generation the enzymatic activity of GOD is evaluated in solution. In order to construct a photobioelectrochemical sensor which can be read out by illuminating the respective electrode area multilayers were build up on the CdSe/ZnS-modified electrodes. The layer-by-layer deposition of GOD by means of the polyelectrolyte PAH show that a sensor construction is possible. The sensing properties of such kind of electrodes are drastically influenced by the amount and density of the enzyme on top of the quantum dot layer. By depositing 4 bilayers [GOD/ PAH]4 on the CdSe/ZnS electrode a fast responding sensor for the concentration range 0.1mM-5mM glucose can be prepared. This opens the door to a multianalyte detection with a non-structured sensing electrode, localized enzymes and spatial read-out by light.

The present study aims to fill the green gap of photosystem I (PSI) with covalently linked fluorophores, ATTO 590 and ATTO 532. Photobiocathodes are prepared by combining a 20 μm thick 3D indium tin oxide (ITO) structure with these constructs to enhance the photocurrent density compared to setups based on native PSI. To this end, two electron transfer mechanisms, with and without a mediator, are studied to evaluate differences in the behavior of the constructs. Wavelength-dependent measurements confirm the influence of the additional fluorophores on the photocurrent. The performance is significantly increased for all modifications compared to native PSI when cytochrome c is present as a redox-mediator. The photocurrent almost doubles from −32.5 to up to −60.9 μA cm−2. For mediator-less photobiocathodes, interestingly, drastic differences appear between the constructs made with various dyes. While the turnover frequency (TOF) is doubled to 10 e−/PSI/s for PSI-ATTO590 on the 3D ITO compared to the reference specimen, the photocurrents are slightly smaller since the PSI-ATTO590 coverage is low. In contrast, the PSI-ATTO532 construct performs exceptionally well. The TOF increases to 31 e−/PSI/s, and a photocurrent of −47.0 μA cm−2 is obtained. This current is a factor of 6 better than the reference made with native PSI in direct electron transfer mode and sets a new record for mediator-free photobioelectrodes combining 3D electrode structures and light-converting biocomponents.

One example that provides scientists with multiple challenges is a photobioelectrode that converts sunlight into electrons in a biohybrid approach. In the present study several key parameters are evaluated concerning their influence on the direct electron transfer from a 3D indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode material to photosystem I (PSI) as a light-harvesting biomolecule. In contrast to previous investigations, no mediating molecule is added to shuttle the electrons to the luminal side of PSI. Thus, this setup is less complex than foregoing ones. The solution composition drastically influences the interaction of PSI with the ITO surface. Here, the application of higher buffer concentrations and the addition of salts are advantageous, whereas the nature of the buffer ions plays a minor role. The artificial electrode material's thickness is adjustable since a spin-coating procedure is used for preparation. With a 30 μm thick structure and immobilized PSI cathodic photocurrents up to 10.1 μA cm−2 are obtained at 100 mW cm−2 illumination intensity and an applied potential of −0.1V vs. Ag/AgCl. Over a period of three days the photobioelectrodes are illuminated for a total of 90 min and stored between the measurements at ambient temperature. The stability of the setup is noteworthy as still about 90% of the photocurrent is retained. The photocathode described here offers many positive features, including a high onset potential for the photocurrent starting sligthly above the redox potentail of P700, and applicability in a wide pH range from pH 5 to 8.

The glass microfiber-based chip has been fabricated by a new wax-based transfer-printing technique and an electrode printing process. It is capable of moving DNA effectively in a time-dependent fashion. The nucleic acid sample is not damaged by this process and is accumulated in front of the anode, but not directly on the electrode. Thus, further DNA processing is feasible. The system allows the DNA to be purified by separating it from other components in sample mixtures such as proteins. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that DNA can be moved through several layers of the glass fiber material. This proof of concept will provide the basis for the development of rapid test systems, e.g., for the detection of pathogens in water samples.

There are plenty of methods available to measure dopamine quantitatively, with voltammetric ones such as differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) being among the most convenient and simple ones. However, dopamine often occurs, either naturally or because of the requirements of involved enzymatic systems, alongside substances that can influence the signal it produces upon electrochemical conversion. An example for such substances is the magnesium ion, which itself is not electrochemically active in the potential range needed for DA oxidation, but influences the dopamine signal. We have characterized the properties of DPV signals subject to the interaction between DA and Mg2+ and show that, although these properties are changing in a nonlinear fashion when both concentrations are varying, relatively simple linear mathematical models can be used to determine dopamine concentrations quantitatively in the presence of magnesium ions. The focus of this study is thus, the mathematical treatment of experimental data in order to overcome an analytical problem and not the investigation of the chemical background of DA-Mg2+ interaction.

Often activity changes of a certain protease can be assigned to a specific disease. Hence, they are useful biomarkers and a simple and fast determination method of their activity could be a valuable tool for the efficient monitoring of numerous diseases. Here, two different methods for the qualitative and quantitative determination of protease activity are demonstrated using the model system of proteinase K. The first test system is based on a protein-modified and colored 3D silica structure that changes color when exposed to the enzyme. This method has also been used for the detection of matrix metallo-protease 2 (MMP2) with gelatine as protease substrate on the plates. The second detection system uses the decrease in the voltammetric signal of a cytochrome c/DNA multilayer electrode after incubation with a protease to quantitatively determine its proteolytic activity. While activities down to 0.15 U/ml can be detected with the first method, the second one provides detection limits of about 0.03 U/ml (for proteinase K.) The functionality of both systems can be demonstrated and ways for further enhancement of sensitivity have been elucidated.

Here, an approach is described that uses reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as an electrode material. This classical 2D material is used to construct a three-dimensional structure by a template-based approach combined with a simple spin-coating process during preparation. Inspired by this novel material and photosystem I (PSI), a biophotovoltaic electrode is being designed and investigated. Both direct electron transfer to PSI and mediated electron transfer via cytochrome c from horse heart as redox protein can be confirmed. Electrode preparation and protein immobilization have been optimized. The performance can be upscaled by adjusting the thickness of the 3D electrode using different numbers of spin-coating steps during preparation. Thus, photocurrents up to ∼14 μA/cm2 are measured for 12 spin-coated layers of rGO corresponding to a turnover frequency of 30 e– PSI–1 s–1 and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.07% at a thickness of about 15 μm. Operational stability has been analyzed for several days. Particularly, the performance at low illumination intensities is very promising (1.39 μA/cm2 at 0.1 mW/cm2 and −0.15 V vs Ag/AgCl; EQE 6.8%).

T1 - Cystein-Mutanten der Cu,Zn-Superoxiddismutase und ihre Anwendung in Proteinelektroden für die Detektion von freien Sauerstoffradikalen T2 - Wissenschaftliche Beiträge 2006 N2 - Das Enzym Superoxiddismutase (SOD) bietet wegen seiner hohen Reaktionsrate und seiner extrem hohen Substratspezifi tät große Vorteile für eine Anwendung als Superoxidbiosensor. In dieser Arbeit wurden durch molekularbiologische Methoden Mutanten der humanen Cu,Zn-SOD gewonnen, welche ein oder zwei zusätzliche Cystein-Reste enthielten, die eine einfache Immobilisierung des Proteins durch Bindung des Cystein-Schwefels auf Goldelektroden ermöglichten. Sechs solcher Mutanten wurden entworfen, exprimiert, aufgereinigt und elektrochemisch charakterisiert. Alle Mutanten konnten durch einen einfachen Inkubationsschritt auf Goldelektroden gebunden werden und zeigten ein quasi-reversibles elektrochemisches Ansprechen. Für eine Mutante wurde die Anwendung als Superoxidsensor genauer untersucht und für beide Teilreaktionen der Dismutation ein Ansprechen des Sensors auf das Radikal gefunden. Bei Verwendung einer Teilreaktion konnte die Empfindlichkeit herkömmlicher Monoschichtsensoren um etwa eine Größenordnung übertroffen werden.

Hierfür wird eine Goldelektrode mit mehrwandigen Kohlenstoffnanoröhren [engl. multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)] modifiziert, anschließend mit einem Copolymer aus Anilinderivaten überzogen und dann die (PQQ)-GDH (Acinetobacter calcoaceticus) kovalent immobilisiert. Die gepulste Polymersynthese wird hinsichtlich der Effektivität der bioelektrokatalytischen Umsetzung von Glukose optimiert. Die Glukoseoxidation startet bei einem Potential von -0,1 V vs. Ag/AgCl (1 M KCl) und Stromdichten von bis zu 500 μA/cm² (+0,1 V) können erreicht werden. Der Messbereich für Glukose liegt bei 0,1-5 mM (+0,1 V vs. Ag/AgCl). Der dynamische Bereich ist bei höherem Potential auf bis zu 100 mM (+0,4 V vs Ag/AgCl) erweitert. Die Elektrode wird als Anode in einer Biobrennstoffzelle (BBZ) mit einer Bilirubinoxidase-modifizierten MWCNT/Gold-Kathode eingesetzt. Beide Elektroden basieren auf einem DET.

Beide Messprinzipien lassen neben der spezifischen Detektion auch die Quantifizierung von DNA-Sequenzen sowie den Nachweis von einzelnen Basenfehlpaarungen innerhalb dieser Sequenzen zu. Fänger- DNA wurde zu diesem Zweck mit dem 5’-Ende auf einer Goldoberfläche immobilisiert. Die Hybridisierung mit einem Methylenblau (MB) markierten oder unmarkierten Probenstrang konnte dann mit Hilfe der Differenzpulsvoltammetrie DPV oder der elektrochemischen Impedanzspektroskopie nachgewiesen werden. Die voltammetrische Quantifizierung erfolgte in einem direkten und kompetitiven Ansatz, mit einem Detektionslimit von 30 nM bzw. 3 nM (bei Einsatz von 0,1 μM Kompetitor- DNA). Das Detektionslimit beim impedimetrischen Nachweis lag bei 100 nM DNA. Die hier vorgestellten Sensoren sind zum einen regenerierbar und können zum anderen über einen Zeitraum von zwei Monaten gelagert werden. N2 - This paper describes simplistic electrochemical DNA sensors for the sensitive, more rapid and cost effective detection of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The used methodes are the voltammetric detection and the detection by impedance spectroscopy. Beside the specific detection of ssDNA both techniques allow quantification of DNA and verification of single base pair mismatches within the sequences. Therefore a single-stranded 18mer oligonucleotide (DNA) was immobilised via a thiol-linker on gold film electrodes and served as probe DNA. Hybridisation was detected by means of the electroactive redox-marker methylene blue (MB), which was covalently bound to the 5’-end of the target DNA, by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) or by measuring the differences in the charge transfer resistance (RCT) by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) using non-labelled ssDNA targets. MB-labelled target DNA was verified down to 30 nM DNA. By application of a competitive binding assay non-labelled DNA was detected down to 3 nM DNA. The detection limit for impedimetric DNA sensors was 100 nM ssDNA. The sensors were found to be reusable and could be stored for more than two month at 4 °C without significant loss in their activity.
