Fe(III)-DOTA/Fe(III)-NOTA Complexes: Attractive Alternative Markers for Future Electrochemical Biosensors
2020
Metallic complexes of macrocycles chelators 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-N,N,N-triacetic acid (NOTA) and 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) were synthetized with iron (III) giving Fe(III)-DOTA and Fe(III)-NOTA complexes. They were studied in comparison of ferricyanide and ferrocenemethanol on cyclic voltammetry with glassy carbon working electrode (GC) and screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE). Diffusion coefficients and heterogeneous electron transfer rate constants were determined with Randles-Sevcik and Nicholson-Lavagnini methods. Using SPCE. The average values of diffusion coefficient and transfer rate constant were respectively of 1.34 × 10−6 cm2 s−1 and 1.01 …
Enzyme-modified electrodes for biosensors and biofuel cells
2019
In biosensors and biofuel cells, it is often desirable to accelerate the electron transfer rate between the enzyme and electrode surface to improve the performance of the devices (sensitivity or power output). To this end, in this review, we focus on three important strategies available to improve the performance of enzyme-modified electrodes: the use of protein engineering, designer polymers, and the introduction of nanomaterials. Engineering the protein or proteins that constitute the biocatalytic elements allow tuning their stability, activity, and specificity. It can also allow changing the enzyme immobilization efficiency (adsorption vs. covalent immobilization, for example). If direct…
