Abstract
Functional reintegration into lipid environments represents a major challenge for in vitro investigation of integral membrane proteins (IMPs). Here, we report a new approach, termed LMNG Auto-insertion Reintegration (LAiR), for reintegration of IMPs into lipid bilayers within minutes. The resulting proteoliposomes displayed an unprecedented capability to maintain proton gradients and long-term stability. LAiR allowed for monitoring catalysis of a membrane-bound, physiologically relevant polyisoprenoid quinone substrate by Escherichia coli cytochromes bo 3 (cbo 3) and bd (cbd) under control of the proton motive force. LAiR also facilitated bulk-phase detection and physiological assessment of the "proton leak" in cbo 3, a controversial catalytic state that previously was only approachable at the single-molecule level. LAiR maintained the multisubunit integrity and higher-order oligomeric states of the delicate mammalian F-ATP synthase. Given that LAiR can be applied to both liposomes and planar membrane bilayers and is compatible with IMPs and lipids from prokaryotic and eukaryotic sources, we anticipate LAiR to be applied broadly across basic research, pharmaceutical applications, and biotechnology.

Abstract
Membrane proteins can be classified into two main categories—integral and peripheral membrane proteins—depending on the nature of their membrane interaction. Peripheral membrane proteins are highly unique amphipathic proteins that interact with the membrane indirectly, using electrostatic or hydrophobic interactions, or directly, using hydrophobic tails or GPI-anchors. The nature of this interaction not only influences the location of the protein in the cell, but also the function. In addition to their unique relationship with the cell membrane, peripheral membrane proteins often play a key role in the development of human diseases such as African sleeping sickness, cancer, and atherosclerosis. This review will discuss the membrane interaction and role of periplasmic nitrate reductase, CymA, cytochrome c, alkaline phosphatase, ecto-5’-nucleotidase, acetylcholinesterase, alternative oxidase, type-II NADH dehydrogenase, and dihydroorotate dehydrogenase in certain diseases. The study of these proteins will give new insights into their function and structure, and may ultimately lead to ground-breaking advances in the treatment of severe diseases.

Abstract
In high concentrations, ionic species can be toxic in the body, catalyzing unwanted bioreactions, inhibiting enzymes, generating free radicals, in addition to having been associated with diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer. Although ionic species are ubiquitous in the environment in trace amounts, high concentrations of these metals are often found within industrial and agricultural waste runoff. Therefore, it remains a global interest to develop technologies capable of quickly and accurately detecting trace levels of ionic species, particularly in aqueous environments that naturally contain other competing/inhibiting ions. Herein, we provide an overview of the technologies that have been developed, including the general theory, design, and benefits/challenges associated with ion-selective electrode technologies (carrier-doped membranes, carbon-based varieties, enzyme inhibition electrodes). Notable variations of these electrodes will be highlighted, and a brief overview of associated electrochemical techniques will be given.

Abstract
![]()
Enzymes are the essential catalytic components of biology and adsorbing
redox-active enzymes on electrode surfaces enables the direct probing
of their function. Through standard electrochemical measurements,
catalytic activity, reversibility and stability, potentials of redox-active
cofactors, and interfacial electron transfer rates can be readily
measured. Mechanistic investigations on the high electrocatalytic
rates and selectivity of enzymes may yield inspiration for the design
of synthetic molecular and heterogeneous electrocatalysts. Electrochemical
investigations of enzymes also aid in our understanding of their activity
within their biological environment and why they evolved in their
present structure and function. However, the conventional array of
electrochemical techniques (e.g., voltammetry and chronoamperometry)
alone offers a limited picture of the enzyme–electrode interface. How many enzymes are loaded onto an electrode? In which orientation(s)
are they bound? What fraction is active, and are single or multilayers
formed? Does this static picture change over time, applied voltage,
or chemical environment? How does charge transfer through various
intraprotein cofactors contribute to the overall performance and catalytic
bias? What is the distribution of individual enzyme activities within
an ensemble of active protein films? These are central questions for
the understanding of the enzyme–electrode interface, and a
multidisciplinary approach is required to deliver insightful answers. Complementing standard electrochemical experiments with an orthogonal
set of techniques has recently allowed to provide a more complete
picture of enzyme–electrode systems. Within this framework,
we first discuss a brief history of achievements and challenges in
enzyme electrochemistry. We subsequently describe how the aforementioned
challenges can be overcome by applying advanced electrochemical techniques,
quartz-crystal microbalance measurements, and spectroscopic, namely,
resonance Raman and infrared, analysis. For example, rotating ring
disk electrochemistry permits the simultaneous determination of reaction
kinetics and quantification of generated products. In addition, recording
changes in frequency and dissipation in a quartz crystal microbalance
allows to shed light into enzyme loading, relative orientation, clustering,
and denaturation at the electrode surface. Resonance Raman spectroscopy
yields information on ligation and redox state of enzyme cofactors,
whereas infrared spectroscopy provides insights into active site states
and the protein secondary and tertiary structure. The development
of these emerging methods for the analysis of the enzyme–electrode
interface is the primary focus of this Account. We also take a critical
look at the remaining gaps in our understanding and challenges lying
ahead toward attaining a complete mechanistic picture of the enzyme–electrode
interface.

Abstract
Direct electrochemical detection of c-type cytochrome complexes embedded in the bacterial outer membrane (outer membrane c-type cytochrome complexes; OM c-Cyts) has recently emerged as a novel whole-cell analytical method to characterize the bacterial electron transport from the respiratory chain to the cell exterior, referred to as the extracellular electron transport (EET). While the pathway and kinetics of the electron flow during the EET reaction have been investigated, a whole-cell electrochemical method to examine the impact of cation transport associated with EET has not yet been established. In the present study, an example of a biochemical technique to examine the deuterium kinetic isotope effect (KIE) on EET through OM c-Cyts using a model microbe, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, is described. The KIE on the EET process can be obtained if the EET through OM c-Cyts acts as the rate-limiting step in the microbial current production. To that end, before the addition of D2O, the supernatant solution was replaced with fresh media containing a sufficient amount of the electron donor to support the rate of upstream metabolic reactions, and to remove the planktonic cells from a uniform monolayer biofilm on the working electrode. Alternative methods to confirm the rate-limiting step in microbial current production as EET through OM c-Cyts are also described. Our technique of a whole-cell electrochemical assay for investigating proton transport kinetics can be applied to other electroactive microbial strains.
