Abstract

The application of the carbon nanotube as an electrode material is demonstrated. Redox proteins on and within these tubes give reproducible, well-behaved voltammetric responses.

Electrochemical nano-aptasensor as potential diagnostic device for thrombin
2022, Nanobioanalytical Approaches to Medical Diagnostics
Aptamers, the short single-stranded oligonucleotide or peptide sequences isolated via Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX) have empowered the development of aptamer-based biosensors for the detection of protein biomarkers. Following the discovery of SELEX, the thrombin-binding aptamers have been extensively studied and frequently used to demonstrate the proof-of-concept of the aptasensors. Abnormality of thrombin, the dominating enzyme in the blood coagulation cascade is considered a tumor biomarker and is known to be associated with thromboembolic disorders, arteriosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, neuroinflammatory diseases, etc. Hence, the development of highly sensitive and selective detection methods of thrombin is of paramount importance in clinical research and diagnosis for the understanding, treatment, and prevention of a multitude of diseases. Among the various aptasensing techniques employed for thrombin detection, electrochemical aptasensors have received tremendous attention due to the simple instrumentation, rapid response, inherent miniaturization, robustness, independence of sample turbidity, and cost-effectiveness. In this chapter, the emphasis has been placed on the recent advances in electrochemical aptasensors for thrombin detection. In addition to the discussion on some commonly conjugated nanomaterials in aptasensing for signal amplification and sensitivity improvement, this chapter also imparts valuable information regarding SELEX, the common immobilization techniques of aptamer, and the clinical importance of thrombin.
Chloroferrocene-mediated laccase bioelectrocatalyst for the rapid reduction of O<inf>2</inf>

CFEs have previously been utilized in air-breathing cathode materials due to their high surface area and porosity [29]. While a wide variety of high surface density carbon materials have been employed in heterogeneous electrocatalysis (such as carbon paper, carbon nanotubes, and graphite rods), the uniquely porous three-dimensional structure of carbon felt electrodes (CFEs) allows for much larger quantities of enzyme-containing polymer film to be coated onto an electrode per geometric surface area [30–34]. The effects of FcCl-C3-LPEI/laccase film loading on jmax under a flow of compressed air is shown in Fig. 6.
Enzymatic biofuel cells are a promising and environmentally friendly technology for energy generation from renewable fuel sources. Glucose biofuel cells employ enzymatic catalysts at both the anode and cathode to oxidize glucose and reduce oxygen while producing electricity. Consequently, there is a need for materials capable of immobilizing enzymes and facilitating efficient electron transfer between an electrode surface and an enzymatic active site. Here, we describe a chloroferrocene-modified linear poly(ethylenimine) capable of mediating electro-enzymatic oxygen reduction by laccase. Enzymatic biocathodes constructed using this mediator generated current densities up to 2.66 mA cm⁻², and up to 636 μW cm⁻² (E_oc = 0.6 V) power when combined with a tetramethylferrocene-mediated glucose oxidase bioanode to construct a biofuel cell mediated entirely by ferrocenes.
