“An adhesive conducting electrode material based on commercial mesoporous titanium dioxide as a support for Horseradish peroxidase for bioelectrochemical applications”. Rahemi V, Trashin S, Meynen V, De Wael K, Talanta : the international journal of pure and applied analytical chemistry 146, 689 (2016). http://doi.org/10.1016/J.TALANTA.2015.06.041
Abstract: An adhesive conducting electrode material containing of graphite, biocompatible ion exchange polymer nafion® and commercial mesoporous TiO2 impregnated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is prepared and characterized by amperometric, UVvis and N2 sorption methods. The factors influencing the performance of the resulting biosensor are studied in detail. The optimal electrode material consists of 45% graphite, 50% impregnated HRPTiO2 and 5% nafion®. The optimum conditions for H2O2 reduction are an applied potential of 0.3 V and 0.1 mM hydroquinone. Sensitivity and limit of detection in the optimum conditions are 1 A M−1 cm−2 and 1 µM correspondingly. The N2 sorption results show that the pore volume of TiO2 decreases sharply upon adsorption of HRP. The preparation process of the proposed enzyme electrode is straightforward and potentially can be used for preparation of carbon paste electrodes for bioelectrochemical detections.

“Amperometric flow-injection analysis of phenols induced by reactive oxygen species generated under daylight irradiation of titania impregnated with horseradish peroxidase”. Rahemi V, Trashin S, Hafideddine Z, Van Doorslaer S, Meynen V, Gorton L, De Wael K, Analytical Chemistry 92, 3643 (2020). http://doi.org/10.1021/acs.analchem.9b04617
Abstract: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a unique material for biosensing applications due to its capability of hosting enzymes. For the first time, we show that TiO2 can accumulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under daylight irradiation and can support the catalytic cycle of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) without the need of H2O2 to be present in the solution. Phenolic compounds, such as hydroquinone (HQ) and 4-aminophenol (4-AP), were detected amperometrically in flow-injection analysis (FIA) mode via the use of an electrode modified with TiO2 impregnated with HRP. In contrast to the conventional detection scheme, no H2O2 was added to the analyte solution. Basically, the inherited ability of TiO2 to generate reactive oxygen species is used as a strategy to avoid adding H2O2 in the solution during the detection of phenolic compounds. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy indicates the presence of ROS on titania which, in interaction with HRP, initiate the electrocatalysis toward phenolic compounds. The amperometric response to 4-AP was linear in the concentration range between 0.05 and 2 μM. The sensitivity was 0.51 A M–1 cm–2, and the limit of detection (LOD) 26 nM. The proposed sensor design opens new opportunities for the detection of phenolic traces by HRP-based electrochemical biosensors, yet in a more straightforward and sensitive way following green chemistry principles of avoiding the use of reactive and harmful chemical, such as H2O2.

Abstract: Photoelectrochemical detection of nucleic acid-based cancer biomarkers offers opportunities for highly sensitive, selective, and fast quantitative detection using low-cost measurement instruments. In order to establish itself as a standard method for identifying and quantifying nucleic acids, we have developed a multiplexing strategy using LED technology for photoelectrochemical detection in 96 samples simultaneously. A dedicated setup based on the 96-well plate configuration with a custom-made 96-well LED array was developed. Subsequently, a proof-of-concept study was performed for three miRNAs that are associated with prostate cancer, i.e., miRNA-141, miRNA-145, and miRNA-375. First, measurements with photosensitizer chlorin e6 and redox reporter hydroquinone free in solution proved the proper functioning of the multiplexed detection. Second, the photoelectrochemical detection of the three miRNAs at 24 nM levels was successfully demonstrated. Thereafter, linear calibration curves (R2 > 0.9 for all analytes) were made with plasma spiked with 8–500 pM miRNA. This work presents the first system for multiplexed high-throughput photoelectrochemical detection, allowing it potentially to become a cost-effective and faster alternative to RT-qPCR and gene sequencing techniques in the future.
