Title: Wiring proteins to electrodes – Design of specific redox polymers and their applications
Speaker: Wolfgang Schuhmann, Center for Electrochemical Sciences (CES), Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Ruhr University Bochum (Germany)
Abstract:
The optimized electrical connection of proteins with electrodes is of high importance for the integration of redox proteins in bioelectrochemical devices such as biosensors, biofuel cells, photobioelectrocatalytic devices for energy conversion and storage, or electrolyzers for the generation of valuable chemicals.
This presentation addresses the design of redox polymers for wiring proteins to electrodes and the modulation of their properties. Moreover, specific examples will be discussed, including the wiring of hydrogenases, nitrogenases, photosystem I, as well as glucose and lactate-converting enzymes. Specifically, a novel equilibrium-type glucose sensor will be described in more detail.
