Osmium Bipyridyl Redox Polymers Used in Enzyme Electrodes
نویسنده
چکیده
A review of the background of biosensors which utilise osmium complexes for monitoring the glucose levels in diabetic patients is presented. A n electrochemical system, based on an osmium redox polymer, is described; the system is aimed at being a reliable, compact and miniature in vivo sensor for implantation into diabetic patients for continuous monitoring of their blood glucose levels. The sensor is about to begin trials on human volunteers.

A laccase–glucose oxidase biofuel cell prototype operating in a physiological buffer
Here we report on the design and study of a biofuel cell consisting of a glucose oxidase-based anode (Aspergillus niger) and a laccasebased cathode (Trametes versicolor) using osmium-based redox polymers as mediators of the biocatalysts’ electron transfer at graphite electrode surfaces. The graphite electrodes of the device are modified with the deposition and immobilization of the appropriate ...
متن کاملElectrochemical communication between microbial cells and electrodes via osmium redox systems.
Electrochemical communication between micro-organisms and electrodes is the integral and fundamental part of BESs (bioelectrochemical systems). The immobilization of bacterial cells on the electrode and ensuring efficient electron transfer to the electrode via a mediator are decisive features of mediated electrochemical biosensors. Notably, mediator-based systems are essential to extract electr...
متن کاملSupramolecular multilayer structures of wired redox enzyme electrodes.
Supramolecular multilayer structures comprised of glucose oxidase (GOx), and Os complex derivatised poly(allylamine) (PAH-Os) have been built by alternate layer-by-layer (LBL) electrostatic adsorption in a self-assembly process. The resulting modified electrodes with integrated mediator were tested as reagentless glucose biosensors. The enzyme kinetic parameters and the surface concentration of...
متن کاملImproved microbial electrocatalysis with osmium polymer modified electrodes.
Using the well-known exoelectrogen Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, an osmium redox polymer modified anode exhibited ca. 4-fold increase in current generation. Additionally, a significant decrease in the start-up time for electrocatalysis was observed. The findings suggest that the inherent extracellular electron transfer capabilities of electrogens coupled with such polymers could enhance electroca...
متن کامل1 Electrochemical Properties of an Osmium ( II ) copolymer film and its electrocatalytic ability towards the oxidation of ascorbic acid in acidic and neutral pH
Copolymerisation of an Osmium (II) functionalised pyrrole moiety, Osmium -bis-N,N’-(2,2’bipyridyl)-N-(pyridine-4-ylmethyl-(8-pyrrole-1yl-octyl)-amine)chloride (1) with 3methylthiophene was carried out. The resulting conducting polymer film exhibited a clear redox couple associated with the Os response and the familiar conducting polymer backbone signature. The effect of film thickness upon the ...
