Abstract
In the field of neuroscience as well as in the clinical setting, the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) is an analyte which is important for research as well as medical purposes. There are plenty of methods available to measure dopamine quantitatively, with voltammetric ones such as differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) being among the most convenient and simple ones. However, dopamine often occurs, either naturally or because of the requirements of involved enzymatic systems, alongside substances that can influence the signal it produces upon electrochemical conversion. An example for such substances is the magnesium ion, which itself is not electrochemically active in the potential range needed for DA oxidation, but influences the dopamine signal. We have characterized the properties of DPV signals subject to the interaction between DA and Mg2+ and show that, although these properties are changing in a nonlinear fashion when both concentrations are varying, relatively simple linear mathematical models can be used to determine dopamine concentrations quantitatively in the presence of magnesium ions. The focus of this study is thus, the mathematical treatment of experimental data in order to overcome an analytical problem and not the investigation of the chemical background of DA-Mg2+ interaction.

Abstract
In this study, photobioelectrodes based on a ferredoxin-modified photosystem I (PSI-Fd) from Thermosynechococcus vestitus have been prepared and characterized regarding the direct electron transfer between PSI-Fd and the electrode. The modified PSI with the covalently linked ferredoxin (Fd) on its stromal side has been immobilized on indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrodes with a 3-dimensional inverse-opal structure. Compared to native PSI, a lower photocurrent and a lower onset potential of the cathodic photocurrent have been observed. This can be mainly attributed to a different adsorption behavior of the PSI-Fd-construct onto the 3D ITO. However, the overall behavior is rather similar to PSI. First experiments have been performed for applying this PSI-Fd photobioelectrode for enzyme-driven NADPH generation. By coupling the electrode system with ferredoxin-NADP+-reductase (FNR), first hints for the usage of photoelectrons for biosynthesis have been collected by verifying NADPH generation.

Abstract
Trimeric photosystem I from the cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus (TePSI) is an intrinsic membrane protein, which converts solar energy into electrical energy by oxidizing the soluble redox mediator cytochrome c 6 (Cyt c 6 ) and reducing ferredoxin. Here, we use cryo-electron microscopy and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) to characterize the transient binding of Cyt c 6 to TePSI. The structure of TePSI cross-linked to Cyt c 6 was solved at a resolution of 2.9 Å and shows additional cofactors as well as side chain density for 84% of the peptide chain of subunit PsaK, revealing a hydrophobic, membrane intrinsic loop that enables binding of associated proteins. Due to the poor binding specificity, Cyt c 6 could not be localized with certainty in our cryo-EM analysis. SANS measurements confirm that Cyt c 6 does not bind to TePSI at protein concentrations comparable to those for cross-linking. However, SANS data indicate a complex formation between TePSI and the non-native mitochondrial cytochrome from horse heart (Cyt c HH ). Our study pinpoints the difficulty of identifying very small binding partners (less than 5% of the overall size) in EM structures when binding affinities are poor. We relate our results to well resolved co-structures with known binding affinities and recommend confirmatory methods for complexes with K M values higher than 20 μM.

Abstract
InGaN/GaN nanowire heterostructures are presented as nanophotonic probes for the light-triggered photoelectrochemical detection of NADH. We demonstrate that photogenerated electron-hole pairs give rise to a stable anodic photocurrent whose potential- and pH-dependences exhibit broad applicability. In addition, the simultaneous measurement of the photoluminescence provides an additional tool for the analysis and evaluation of light-triggered reaction processes at the nanostructured interface. InGaN/GaN nanowire ensembles can be excited over a wide wavelength range, which avoids interferences of the photoelectrochemical response by absorption properties of the compounds to be analyzed by adjusting the excitation wavelength. The photocurrent of the nanostructures shows an NADH-dependent magnitude. The anodic current increases with rising analyte concentration in a range from 5µM to 10mM, at a comparatively low potential of 0mV vs. Ag/AgCl. Here, the InGaN/GaN nanowires reach high sensitivities of up to 91µAmM-1cm-2 (in the linear range) and provide a good reusability for repetitive NADH detection. These results demonstrate the potential of InGaN/GaN nanowire heterostructures for the defined conversion of this analyte paving the way for the realization of light-switchable sensors for the analyte or biosensors by combination with NADH producing enzymes.

Abstract
The combination of the biocatalytic features of enzymes with the unique physical properties of nanoparticles in a biohybrid system provides a promising approach for the development of advanced bioelectrocatalytic devices. This study describes the construction of photoelectrochemical signal chains based on CdSe/ZnS quantum dot (QD) modified gold electrodes as light switchable elements, and low molecular weight redox molecules for the combination with different biocatalysts. Photoelectrochemical and photoluminescence experiments verify that electron transfer can be achieved between the redox molecules hexacyanoferrate and ferrocene, and the QDs under illumination. Since for both redox mediators a concentration dependent photocurrent change has been found, light switchable enzymatic signal chains are built up with fructose dehydrogenase (FDH) and pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase ((PQQ)GDH) for the detection of sugars. After immobilization of the enzymes at the QD electrode the biocatalytic oxidation of the substrates can be followed by conversion of the redox mediator in solution and subsequent detection at the QD electrode. Furthermore, (PQQ)GDH has been assembled together with ferrocenecarboxylic acid on top of the QD electrode for the construction of a funtional biohybrid architecture, showing that electron transfer can be realized from the enzyme over the redox mediator to the QDs and subsequently to the electrode in a completely immobilized fashion. The results obtained here do not only provide the basis for light-switchable biosensing and bioelectrocatalytic applications, but may also open the way for self-driven point-of-care systems by combination with solar cell approaches (power generation at the QD electrode by enzymatic substrate consumption).

Abstract
One major vital element of the oxygenic photosynthesis is photosystem I (PSI). We report on the construction of graphene-based nanohybrid light-harvesting architectures consisting of PSI supercomplexes adsorbed onto π-system-modified graphene interfaces. The light-driven nanophotobioelectrochemical architectures have been designed on a modified carbon surface, on the basis of π-π-stacking interactions between polycyclic aromatic compounds and graphene. As a result of the remarkable features of graphene and the feasibility of purposeful surface property adjustment, well-defined photoelectrochemical responses have been displayed by the nanophotohybrid electrodes. In particular, the PSI-graphene electrodes utilizing naphthalene derivatives provided a suitable surface for the adsorption of PSI and display already at the open circuit potential (OCP) a high cathodic photocurrent output of 4.5 ± 0.1 μA/cm(2). By applying an overpotential and addition of a soluble electron acceptor (methyl viologen), the photocurrent density can be further magnified to 20 ± 0.5 μA/cm(2). On the contrary, the investigated anthracene-based PSI-graphene electrodes exhibit considerably smaller and not very directed photoelectrochemical responses. This study grants insights into the influences of different polycyclic aromatic compounds acting as an interface between the very large protein supercomplex PSI and graphene while supporting the electrochemical communication of the biomolecule with the electrode. It needs to be emphasized that solely the naphthalene-based photoelectrodes reveal unidirectional cathodic photocurrents, establishing the feasibility of utilizing this advanced approach for the construction of next-generation photovoltaic devices.

Abstract
In this study we describe the use of gold nanoparticles as a fast detection system for the sensitive analysis of proteins. The immunological method allows for protein analysis at the nanogram level, as required for clinical diagnosis. Initially a test protein is used for the development of the assay. The system is subsequently adopted for alpha-fetoprotein, which is a relevant tumor marker. This work demonstrates that antibody functionalized gold nanoparticles can be used for the detection of proteins by forming gold nanoparticle aggregates. The influence of the size of the gold nanoparticles on the sensitivity of the assay is investigated in the range from 20-60 nm particles; the larger particles show here the highest relative changes. The formation of antigen-gold nanoparticle aggregates is detected by an increase in hydrodynamic diameter by dynamic light scattering (DLS). UV/Vis spectroscopy also allows assay monitoring by quantifying the red shift of the plasmon resonance wavelength. Alpha-fetoprotein can be analysed in the concentration range of 0.1-0.4 μg ml(-1). The influence of pH, ionic strength and ratio of sample to Au-NP solution is studied. With this method, the protein AFP can be rapidly detected as demanded for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The concentration of anti-transglutaminase antibodies in human sera is an important analytical marker for the diagnosis of the autoimmune disorder celiac disease. In this work, an immunosensor for the electrochemical detection of anti-transglutaminase antibodies in human sera was developed. The immunosensor is based on the immobilization of transglutaminase onto screen-printed gold electrodes which were covered with a polyelectrolyte layer of poly (sodium-4-styrensulfonic acid). The antigen-antibody interaction was evaluated using an amplification step: incubation with peroxidase (POD)-labeled immunoglobulins and subsequent biocatalytic oxidation of 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole (AEC). Changes in the interfacial properties of the sensor electrode were determined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Impedance spectra could be fitted to a Randles equivalent circuit containing a constant phase element (CPE). Furthermore, it was shown that impedance measurements could be simplified by performing EIS at only two selected frequencies, without loss of reliability. Incubation of these disposable immunosensor chips with various anti-transglutaminase antibody concentrations resulted in changes in their charge transfer resistance (R(ct)). Thereby, a calibration graph could be established. Finally, immunosensors were used for characterizing different human sera with respect to their anti-transglutaminase autoantibody concentration of the IgG and IgA type.

An immunosensor has been developed for the detection of autoantibodies directed against wheat gliadin, a protein fraction of cereal gluten which is involved in celiac disease. The immunosensor is based on the immobilization of gliadins onto gold electrodes covered with a polyelectrolyte layer of poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid sodium salt). The immobilization was monitored by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) analysis. The antigen-antibody interaction signal was amplified by an incubation step with peroxidase-labeled immunoglobulins and subsequent peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole (AEC). Changes in the insulating properties of the electrode layer were measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in the presence of ferri/ferro-cyanide. Impedance spectra could be fitted to a Randles equivalent circuit with high accuracy. Exposing the sensor electrodes to various antigliadin antibody concentrations resulted in proportional changes in the charge transfer resistance. A calibration graph for the detection of antigliadin antibodies was established for antibody concentrations between 10(-8) and 10(-6) M. Finally, the sensor was used for the determination of antigliadin autoantibodies of the IgG and IgA type in several human sera.

Abstract
Application of antioxidants in the cosmetic industry demands control of the efficiency of ROS-scavenging within the cream matrix. Our goal was to construct a system for the simultaneous detection of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide and their possible scavengers. DMSO is a good solvent for many cosmetic products, and thus the system should work in mixed aqueous-organic media. The fluidic chip developed consists of an ROS-generation chamber, a mixing section and a compartment for the biosensor chip. This electrode chip had two sensors: one sensor for each species. Cytochrome c was used as the sensing protein. Both the superoxide and the hydrogen peroxide sensors demonstrated sufficient sensitivity in DMSO-buffer mixtures within the concentration range 0.4 nM-1.2 nM (superoxide) and 50 microM-1000 microM (hydrogen peroxide). The influence of the flow conditions on the generation of ROS was investigated and the optimal parameters for the antioxidant detection were evaluated. The efficiency of ROS-scavenging was tested with typical antioxidants of enzymatic and non-enzymatic origin, as well as complex cosmetic creams.

Abstract
The in vitro superoxide scavenging activity (as determined by electrochemical measurement) and the in vivo antioxidant potential (as determined by a mouse model of carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) hepatotoxicity) of methanolic extracts prepared from 10 Chinese tonifying herbs were compared. Electrochemical measurement using a cytochrome c (Cyt. c) sensor showed that all of the tested herbal extracts exhibited a medium superoxide scavenging activity of different potency, as indicated by their IC(50) values. The in vivo measurement demonstrated that 80% of the herbal extracts displayed in vivo antioxidant potential, as assessed by the percentage of protection of the activity of plasma alanine aminotransferases and the hepatic glutathione regeneration capacity under CCl(4)-intoxicated condition. Although the in vitro antioxidant activity did not correlate quantitatively with the in vivo antioxidant potential, for 8 out of 10 samples a similar tendency was found. The rapid amperometric assessment of antioxidant potential by Cyt. c sensor may offer a convenient and direct method for screening as well as the quality control of herbal products.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is experimental evidence that oxygen-derived free radicals (Superoxide (O(2)(-))) play a key role in tissue damage in ischemia-reperfusion injury. Among various antioxidants tested in vitro, natural polyphenols like Epigallocatechine gallate (EGCG) show a 164-fold higher scavenging activity for O(2)(-) than ascorbic acid We therefore conducted an animal study in order to investigate the impact of EGCG on O(2)(-) production during reperfusion after defined periods of ischemia in the muscle tissue of the rat, using a recently developed cytochrome c-based biosensor for on-line in vivo monitoring of O(2)(-). MATERIALS AND METHODS Femoral artery and vein were dissected below the inguinal ligament in male Wistar rats. The cytochrome c-based biosensor was placed in the gastrocnemius muscle. Ischemia was induced by clamping the femoral vessels. Ischemia times were either 60 (n = 14) or 120 (n = 14) minutes. Six animals in each group received 4 mg/kg body weight EGCG intravenously at the time of reperfusion, another six animals in each group served as controls (no treatment). Additionally, two animals in each group received the same volume of saline instead of EGCG. The current response of the biosensor corresponding to the O(2)(-) concentrations in vivo was recorded on a PC. The gastrocnemius muscles were harvested for histological evaluation. RESULTS The average maximum O(2)(-) concentration after 60 minutes of ischemia was 188, 18 nmol/L (23 pA) compared to 90 nmol/L (11 pA) (P <.01) with EGCG application. The mean O(2)(-) value after 120 minutes was 220 nmol/L (27 pA) versus 135 nmol/L (16.5 pA) (P <.01) with EGCG, respectively. Histological analysis showed advanced muscle cell injury and neutrophil infiltration in the group without EGCG. No O(2)(-) reduction could be verified administering saline instead of EGCG. CONCLUSION For the first time the scavenging activity of an antioxidant was verified in vivo on-line. EGCG significantly diminished O(2)(-) tissue concentrations after 60 or 120 minutes of ischemia by an average of nearly 50%, suggesting its therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) from bovine erythrocytes and iron superoxide dismutase from Escherichia coli (FeSOD) were immobilized on 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA)-modified gold electrodes, respectively. The characterization of the SOD electrodes showed a quasi-reversible, electrochemical redox behavior with a formal potential of 47+/-4 mV and -154+/-5 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl, 1 M KCl) for surface adsorbed CuZnSOD and FeSOD, respectively. The heterogeneous electron transfer rate constants were determined to be about 65 and 35/s, respectively. Covalent fixation of both SODs was also feasible with only slight changes in the formal potential. The interaction of superoxide radicals (O(2)(-)) with the SOD electrode was investigated. No catalytic current could be observed. However, due to the fast cyclic redox reaction of SOD with superoxide, the communication of the protein with the electrode was strongly influenced. The amperometric detection of superoxide radicals is discussed.

Abstract
Copper electrochemistry at modified gold electrodes was investigated with two different states of the metal ion: first bound in azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and second introduced via metal ion uptake in metallothionein (MT) from rabbit liver. Azurin was immobilised on a mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) layer self-assembled on gold. The redox behaviour in the adsorbed as well as in the covalently immobilised state was found to be quasi-reversible with a formal potential of +198 mV versus Ag/AgCl. The pH variation suggests an optimal pH range for efficient electrode communication in the neutral range. MT was fixed at electrochemically cleaned gold using the accessible cysteins of the protein. Copper was found to bind to the MT-modified gold electrode. The electrochemical behaviour of the bound copper was characterised in copper-free solution with a formal potential of +245 mV versus Ag/AgCl. Stability and potential use is discussed.

Abstract
A method for the electrochemical detection of antioxidants has been developed, which is based on a radical measurement with a cytochrome c modified electrode. A controlled enzymatic production system for superoxide radicals based on xanthine oxidase was used. The addition of antioxidants facilitated the decomposition of the radical in addition to the spontaneous dismutation. The steady-state of superoxide generation and decomposition was thus shifted to a new situation due to the higher decomposition rate after antioxidant addition. This resulted in a decreased current level at the electrode. Antioxidant activity could be quantified from the response of the sensor electrode by the percentage of the signal decrease. The 50% inhibition value (IC(50)) for different antioxidants was calculated and the antioxidant activity of numerous substances was compared. Thus, a hierarchy of superoxide radical scavenging abilities of flavonoids was established: flavanols>flavonols>flavones>flavonones>isoflavonones.

Abstract
The cytosolic 4Fe-4S protein aconitase can be converted under the influence of reactive oxygen species into an iron-regulatory protein (IRP1). Therefore, the IRP1 level is considered as an indirect marker of oxidative stress. An experimental approach is presented here to detect the concentration of this marker protein by surface plasmon resonance. The optical method exploits the natural binding affinity of IRP1 to an iron-responsive element (IRE) which was in vitro transcribed with a linker sequence and subsequently immobilized on a BIACORE sensor chip. The detection was found to be reproducible and sensitive in the range 20-200 nM IRP. Conditions of the binding process, such as pH and thiol concentration, were characterized. Feasibility of the method to detect and quantify IRP1 in physiological media was demonstrated.

Abstract
Progress in biosensors has mainly been made by the improvement of the biological components and the implementation of microsystem technologies. Enzymes are still the most appropriate recognition elements because they combine high chemical specificity and inherent biocatalytic signal amplification. A breakthrough has been achieved in the application of membrane-integrated receptor systems for analyte recognition and signal transduction in biosensors. Sensor integration of RNA aptamers has been initiated, and the performance of fully synthetic molecularly imprinted polymers has been improved.

Abstract
An important aspect of the cytochrome c electrochemistry is the possibility of coupling the 'heterogeneous reactions' with other redox enzymes. Cellobiose dehydrogenase, a 89170 Da glycoprotein that contains both FAD and a b-type haem as prosthetic groups, donates electrons to a number of acceptors, including cytochrome c. While haem b is surrounded mainly by acidic amino acids, cytochrome c displays positive charged lysine groups around the haem site. Thus a fast reaction between both proteins is explicable. In the presence of cellobiose, a catalytic current was observed, owing to the interaction of cellobiose dehydrogenase with electrostatically adsorbed cytochrome c. Adsorption of cytochrome c provides a technological model surface for vectorial electron transfer.

Abstract
A biosensor consisting of an analyte-recycling two-enzyme system using laccase (Coriolus hirsutus) and PQQ-dependent glucose dehydrogenase in combination with the electrochemical detection of oxygen depletion at a platinum electrode was used for adrenaline determination in the nano- and subnanomolar concentration range. Measurements were performed in a flow cell providing excellent baseline stability and fast recovery of the sensor. Improved design of the polymer matrix resulted in a lower detection limit of 200 pmol/l for adrenaline. The sensor has successfully been applied to the analysis of adrenaline in effluate of isolated rabbit hearts.

Abstract
Different amplification sensors based on the substrate recycling principle were investigated with respect to their applicability to catecholamine detection. In the bioelectrocatalytic approach, glassy carbon electrodes were modified by laccase or a PQQ-dependent glucose dehydrogenase. Substrate recycling occurs and the detection limit is in the lower nanomolar concentration range (e.g. 10 nM dopamine and 1 nM noradrenaline for the laccase- and glucose dehydrogenase-modified electrodes, respectively). Combinations of glucose dehydrogenase with laccase or tyrosinase were investigated as bienzymatic probes. Among the systems we studied, the laccase/glucose dehydrogenase sensor is the most sensitive (detection limit: 0.5 nM adrenaline). The selectivities of the different sensor systems are discussed. Application of the laccase/glucose dehydrogenase electrode in different media (i.e. brain homogenate, heart effluate) was successfully shown. For samples with high concentrations of interfering substances (uric and ascorbic acid), the interferences can be effectively removed using enzymatic methods.
