Enzymatic and electrochemical reactions of catalase immobilized on carbon materials.
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been shown that catalase immobilized on graphite and soot undergoes an oxidation reduction transformation. Some results on the effect of the potential sweep rate, temperature and pH on this transformation are presented. On the basis of the relationship established, it has been proved that the redox transformation is related to the iron in the heme of the active center of the enzyme and takes place with a transfer of one electron.

متن کاملEnzyme-Gelatin Electrochemical Biosensors: Scaling Down
In this article we investigate the possibility of scaling down enzyme-gelatin modified electrodes by spin coating the enzyme-gelatin layer. Special attention is given to the electrochemical behavior of the selected enzymes inside the gelatin matrix. A glassy carbon electrode was used as a substrate to immobilize, in the first instance, horse heart cytochrome c (HHC) in a gelatin matrix. Both a ...
متن کاملEnzymatic and electrochemical reactions of xanthine oxidase immobilized on carbon materials.
An optimum way of immobilizing xanthine oxidase on graphite was found where a redox transformation of the enzyme was observed. The nature of the redox maxima was hypothesized on the basis of the dependence of the half-wave potential (Ep/2) on the pH of the solution. The enzymatic activity of xanthine oxidase adsorbed on two kinds of soot was studied by the oxidation of xanthine. The kinetic and...
متن کاملElectrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide to Methanol by Direct Injection of Electrons into Immobilized Enzymes on a Modified Electrode
We present results for direct bio-electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to C1 products using electrodes with immobilized enzymes. Enzymatic reduction reactions are well known from biological systems where CO2 is selectively reduced to formate, formaldehyde, or methanol at room temperature and ambient pressure. In the past, the use of such enzymatic reductions for CO2 was limited due to the necessit...
