Switchable Bioelectrocatalysis Controlled by pH Changes

pH switchable anion transport by an oxothiosquaramide.

An oxothiosquaramide was shown to bind to chloride through hydrogen bonding interactions in DMSO and found to exhibit pH switchable choride transport across phospholipid bilayers via an antiport transport mechanism.

Polymer Brush Modified Electrode with Switchable Selectivity Triggered by pH Changes Enhanced by Gold Nanoparticles

Neste trabalho foi desenvolvido um sensor com propriedades inteligentes, baseado em polímeros escova (poli-ácido acrílico) modificado com nanopartículas de ouro. Este novo material demonstrou propriedades comutáveis que podem discriminar diferentes pHs. O eletrodo foi caracterizado por voltametria cíclica (CV), espectroscopia de impedância eletroquímica (EIS) e ressonância plasmônica de superfí...

Thiosquaramides: pH switchable anion transporters.

The transport of anions across cellular membranes is an important biological function governed by specialised proteins. In recent years, many small molecules have emerged that mimick the anion transport behaviour of these proteins, but only a few of these synthetic molecules also display the gating/switching behaviour seen in biological systems. A small series of thiosquaramides was synthesised...

pH-induced on/off-switchable graphene bioelectronics

Switchable electrode interfaces controlled by physical, chemical and biological signals.

Electrode interfaces functionalized with various signal-responsive materials have been designed to allow switchable properties of the modified electrodes. External signals of different nature (electrical potential, magnetic field, light, chemical/biochemical inputs) were applied to reversibly activate-deactivate the electrode interfaces upon demand. Multifunctional properties of the modified in...
