Cordas, C. M., P. Raleiras, F. Auchere, I. Moura, and JJG Moura. "Comparative electrochemical study of superoxide reductases." European Biophysics Journal with Biophysics Letters. 41.2 (2012): 209-215. AbstractWebsite

Superoxide reductases are involved in relevant biological electron transfer reactions related to protection against oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species. The electrochemical features of metalloproteins belonging to the three different classes of enzymes were studied by potentio-dynamic techniques (cyclic and square wave voltammetry): desulfoferrodoxin from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough, class I superoxide reductases and neelaredoxin from Desulfovibrio gigas and Treponema pallidum, namely class II and III superoxide reductases, respectively. In addition, a small protein, designated desulforedoxin from D. gigas, which has high homology with the N-terminal domain of class I superoxide reductases, was also investigated. A comparison of the redox potentials and redox behavior of all the proteins is presented, and the results show that SOR center II is thermodynamically more stable than similar centers in different proteins, which may be related to an intramolecular electron transfer function.

The incorporation of a Keggin-type heteropolyanion, the phosphotungstate ([PW12O40](3-)), into polypyrrole has been achieved during the electrochemical preparation of the polymer films in aqueous solution. The redox behaviour of these modified electrodes is described by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). The data allowed to estimate the doping level that indicates the extent of the heteropolyanion insertion. It is found that the polymer films, in aqueous solution, exhibit sensibility to cations, namely to Na+. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A novel iron(III) porphyrin disulphide derivative have been successfully immobilised on gold surfaces by self-assembly. The redox response of the modified electrodes was compared with the obtained for a similar iron porphyrin in solution, confirming the immobilisation of the metalloporphyrin. The gravimetric data obtained by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) during adsorption allowed an estimation of the electrode coverage, providing further evidence for the formation of the porphyrin SAM. The modified electrodes were also measured by conventional and imaging ellipsometry. The electrocatalytic activity of the two modified electrodes was tested for the reduction of the molecular oxygen.
