Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Biotechnology
  • Biosensor development

Background:

  • Superoxide ion (O2-) is a reactive oxygen species implicated in various biological processes and diseases.
  • Developing sensitive and selective biosensors for O2- detection is crucial for biomedical research and diagnostics.
  • Existing biosensor technologies may face limitations in sensitivity, stability, or direct detection capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a third-generation biosensor for direct electrocatalytic detection of superoxide ions (O2-).
  • To engineer a modified electrode with oriented superoxide dismutase (SOD) for enhanced electrochemical activity.
  • To investigate the bi-directional electrocatalytic properties of the modified electrode for O2-.

Main Methods:

  • Immobilization of superoxide dismutase (SOD) onto a gold electrode surface using a cysteine self-assembled monolayer.
