2. 1. Spectroelectrochemistry of Redox Enzymes

   Author : Andreas Christenson; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Elektrokemi; Electrochemistry; complex II; bilirubin oxidase; laccase; enzyme mechanism; redox potential; electron transfer; spectroelectrochemistry; redox enzymes; Spectroelectrochemical cell;

   Abstract : A low volume and long optical path spectroelectrochemical cell was constructed and tested in a number of applications such as detection of direct electron transfer (DET) between redox enzymes and gold electrodes, determination of the formal potentials of redox centres in proteins and enzymes, as well as mechanistic studies of heterogeneous and intermolecular electron transfer of copper oxidases and succinate:quinine oxidoreductase (Complex II). The existence of DET between enzymes and electrodes was demonstrated for theophylline oxidase, cytochrome P450 cam, laccase, bilirubin oxidase, sulphite oxidase and Complex II. READ MORE

4. 2. Crystallographic studies on redox enzymes containing the thioredoxin fold

   Author : Bin Ren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Three-dimensional structure; the thioredoxin fold; glutathione peroxidase; protein disulfide oxidoreductase; protein crystallography;

   Abstract : Three-dimensional structures of two redox enzymes, glutathione peroxidase from human plasma and a protein disulfide oxidoreductase from the archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus, have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Glutathione peroxidases constitute a family of antioxidant seleno-enzymes that catalyze the reduction of a variety of hydroperoxides. READ MORE

   Abstract : Enzyme immobilization on electrically conductive supports is necessary to improve their bioactivity and stability, for use and re-use in applications depending on bio-electrochemical response, such as in bioelectrodes, biosensors, or biofuel cells. However, the immobilization methods used are still facing many challenges in terms of health hazards and high environmental impact. READ MORE

7. 5. Engineering of thermometric biosensors and characterisation of redox enzymes for improved performance of biosensors/biofuel cells
