Abstract
Recently, it was described that neutral glycans can be distinguished from those containing sialic acid at the mercury electrode after modification with osmium(VI) N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (Os(VI)tem). Our work shows the possibility of studying glycans and glycoproteins at pyrolytic graphite electrodes depending on the presence of sialic acid.
Short glycans, glycans released from glycoproteins, and glycoproteins themselves yielded similar voltammetric responses after their modification by Os(VI)tem. Os(VI)tem modified glycans and glycoproteins produced a couple of cathodic and anodic peaks. Changing peak heights and potentials of glycans and glycoproteins pointed out the presence of sialic acid. These findings could be utilized to improve glycoprotein sensing by chemical modification.
期刊介绍:
An International Journal Devoted to Electrochemical Aspects of Biology and Biological Aspects of Electrochemistry
Bioelectrochemistry is an international journal devoted to electrochemical principles in biology and biological aspects of electrochemistry. It publishes experimental and theoretical papers dealing with the electrochemical aspects of:
• Electrified interfaces (electric double layers, adsorption, electron transfer, protein electrochemistry, basic principles of biosensors, biosensor interfaces and bio-nanosensor design and construction.
• Electric and magnetic field effects (field-dependent processes, field interactions with molecules, intramolecular field effects, sensory systems for electric and magnetic fields, molecular and cellular mechanisms)
• Bioenergetics and signal transduction (energy conversion, photosynthetic and visual membranes)
• Biomembranes and model membranes (thermodynamics and mechanics, membrane transport, electroporation, fusion and insertion)
• Electrochemical applications in medicine and biotechnology (drug delivery and gene transfer to cells and tissues, iontophoresis, skin electroporation, injury and repair).
• Organization and use of arrays in-vitro and in-vivo, including as part of feedback control.
• Electrochemical interrogation of biofilms as generated by microorganisms and tissue reaction associated with medical implants.
