Electrostatic Assembly Of A Redox Catalysis System For Detection Of Glutamate, Alice Harper, Mark Anderson Nov 2006

Electrostatic Assembly Of A Redox Catalysis System For Detection Of Glutamate, Alice Harper, Mark Anderson

Mark R. Anderson

Interfacial assemblies capable of determining glutamate by redox catalysis are prepared by electrostatic assembly of alternating layers of ferrocene poly(allylamine) polymer and glutamate oxidase on a gold electrode. Deposition of the polymer was confirmed in cyclic voltammetry measurements by the presence of a surface wave corresponding to the oxidation of the ferrocene group. In the presence of glutamate in the adjacent electrolyte solution, the current increases and approaches a pseudosteady state, consistent with redox catalysis. Electrodes modified with glutamate oxidase had a linear response to glutamate up to 0.0045 M with sensitivity of 20 μA/cm2 and a limit of detection …

In this paper we report enhanced reactivity of the D5h isomers in comparison with the more common Ih isomers of Sc3N@C80 and Lu3N@C80 toward Diels−Alder and 1,3-dipolar tritylazomethine ylide cycloaddition reactions. Also, the structure of the D5h isomer of Sc3N@C80 has been determined through single-crystal X-ray diffraction on D5h-Sc3N@C80·Ni(OEP)·2benzene (OEP = octaethylporphyrin). The Sc3N portion of D5h-Sc3N@C80 is strictly planar, but the plane of these four atoms is tipped out of the noncrystallographic, horizontal mirror plane of the fullerene by 30°. The combination of short bond length and high degree of pyramidization for the central carbon atoms of the pyracylene …
