Abstract:
A new gold particles modified heated copper disk electrode (Au-HCuDE) with direct current was fabricated. The hemin/G-quadruplex horseradish peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme (HRP-DNAzyme) was self-assembled on the heated electrode and resulted in a new biosensor denoted as HRP-DNAzyme/Au-HCuDE. By controlling the temperature of the surface of the electrode, the dramatic temperature effect on the electrocatalytic reduction of H2O2 at HRP-DNAzyme/Au-HCuDE sensing platform was demonstrated. This electrocatalytic activity of HRP-DNAzyme was enhanced with electrode temperature elevated. This method was thus preliminarily used to develop an electrochemical biosensor for highly sensitive detection of H2O2. A detection limit of 1.6×10(-7) M could be obtained (S/N=3) with an electrode temperature of 50 °C, which was more than one magnitude lower than that at electrode temperature of 0 °C. This heated electrochemical biosensor shows many merits such as easy fabrication and simple heating equipment, low cost, high thermal stability, and high sensitivity and good reproducibility.

Oxidation of Phenols to Quinones
o-hydroxy phenols are oxidized to o-quinones and p-hydroxy phenols to p-quinones. Such redox reactions involve the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The reversible redox...
Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...

Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.
