Abstract The electrochemistry of the ligninolytic redox enzymes, which include lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase and laccase possibly also cellobiose dehydrogenase, is reviewed discussed in conjunction with their basic biochemical characteristics. It shown that long‐range electron transfer between these enzymes electrodes can be established ability to degrade through a direct mechanism discussed.
Abstract A membrane‐free biofuel cell (BFC) is reported based on enzymes wired to graphite electrodes by means of Os‐complex modified redox polymers. For the anode cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) used as a biocatalyst whereas for cathode laccase was applied. This high‐potential and hence able reduce O 2 H at formal potential higher than +500 mV versus Ag/AgCl. In order establish efficient electrochemical contact between electrodeposition polymers containing with specifically designed monomer...
Improved electrocatalytic activity and selectivity for the reduction of H2O2 were obtained by electrodepositing Pd-Pt Pd-Au on spectrographic graphite from solutions containing salts two metals at varying ratio. The resulting binary codeposits was evaluated means redox-competition mode scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) voltammetric methods. In a potential range 0 to -600 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl/3 M KCl) pH 7.0 in 0.1 phosphate citrate buffer, both substantially improved as compared with...
Lipid peroxidation is a major process that determines the quality of various oil samples during their use and storage, in which primary products are hydroperoxides (HP’S). HP’S very stable compounds at ambient conditions harmful to human health. Therefore, evaluation degree oxidation an excellent tool for ensuring food safety. The peroxide value (PV) main parameter used control oils. Herein, we propose alternative electrochemical method classical iodometric titration most widely determining...
