Application

Application Comment Organism
biotechnology the „wired" enzyme is superior to pure platinum as a electrocatalyst of the four-electron electroreduction of O2 to water. The "wired" bilirubin oxidase-coated carbon cathode operates for more than 1 week at 37°C in a glucose-containing physiological buffer solution. Key application would be in a glucose-O2 biofuel cell. The cathode is short-lived in serum, losing its electrocatalytic activity in a few hours. The damaging serum component is a product of the reaction of urate and dissolved oxygen. Exclusion of urate, by application of Nafion(TM) film in the cathode, improves the stability in serum Myrothecium sp.
