Abstract
This report emphasizes the use of C60 as an electron mediator for electrocatalyzed biotransformations. A fullerene, C60, carboxylic derivative was covalently attached to a cystamine-monolayer-functionalized Au-electrode. The C60-monolayer revealed a quasi-reversible electrochemical behavior (E0 = 0.31 V vs SCE) in aqueous electrolyte. The C60-monolayer (surface density FC60 = 1.3 × 10-10 mol cm-2) provided electrical communication between the electrode and a soluble glucose oxidase, GOx, with the electron transfer rate constant ket = 3 × 104 M-1 s-1. The monolayer-immobilized C60-mediated bioelectrocatalyzed glucose oxidation in the presence of GOx which was studied by cyclic voltammetry and the rotating disk electrode technique.
