The electrochemical cell

The surface charge as well as the electrochemical properties and ligand binding abilities of the Gram-positive cell wall is controlled by the d-alanylation of the lipoteichoic acid. The incorporation of d-Ala into lipoteichoic acid requires the d-alanine:d-alanyl carrier protein ligase (DltA) and the carrier protein (DltC). We have heterologously expressed, purified, and assayed the substrate selectivity of the recombinant proteins DltA with its substrate DltC.

The synthesis and involvement of H2O2 during the early stages of melano-genesis involving the oxidations of DOPA and dopamine (diphenolase activity) were established by two sensitive and specific electrochemical detection systems. Catalase-treated reaction mixtures showed diminished rates of H2O2 production during the autoxidation and tyrosinase-mediated oxidation of both diphenols.

This minireview looks at the latest trends in the use of nanoparticles (NPs) in electrochemical biosensing systems. It includes electrochemical characteri-zation of NPs for use as labels in affinity biosensors and other applications. DNA analysis involving NPs is one of the most important topics of current research in bionanotechnology.
