Book Redox Chemistry and Interfacial Behavior of Biological Molecules

Download or read book Redox Chemistry and Interfacial Behavior of Biological Molecules written by Glenn Dryhurst and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this book were presented at the Third International Symposium on Redox Mechanisms and Interfacial Properties of Molecules of Biological Importance held in Honolulu, Hawaii between October 19-23, 1987. This Symposium was held as part of the 172nd Meeting of The Electrochemical Society which was cosponsored by The Electrochemical Society of Japan with the cooperation of The Japan Society of Applied Physics. The aim of the Symposium was to bring together a group of electrochemists and bio-medical scientists with interests in electrochemistry from around the world to present their most current research results and/or to present up-to-date reviews of current areas of research activity. It is quite clear from the diversity of topics covered in the various papers that electrochemistry and electrochemical techniques and principles have much to contribute to our under standing of many important biochemical phenomena. For example, electrochemical studies are providing important insights into the redox properties of biomolecules ranging from relatively small organic molecules such as indoleamine neurotransmitters to very large organic/organometallic molecules which include various redox enzymes or model enzyme systems. Many of the most powerful analytical techniques are now being coupled to electrodes to monitor potential-controlled behaviors of bio logical molecules at charged interfaces. Electrochemical techniques are now being developed which permit extraordinarily small electrodes to be inserted into single cells to monitor electroactive biomolecules. Other microelectrodes are being employed to control cell growth and to manipulate single cells.

Book Electrochemical and Spectroscopic Studies of Redox Reactions with Relevance to Environmental Sciences and Energy Conversion

Download or read book Electrochemical and Spectroscopic Studies of Redox Reactions with Relevance to Environmental Sciences and Energy Conversion written by Adriel Jebin Jacob Jebaraj and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electrochemical and in situ spectroscopic methods were used to examine the redox properties of hydroxylamine, NH2OH, on polycrystalline Au electrodes in aqueous electrolytes. It was concluded from these studies that NH2OH oxidation proceeds via a complex electrochemical-chemical mechanism involving initial formation of nitrite, which then reacts with NH2OH to yield electrochemically inert species. Complementary rotating disk electrode studies identified Au(100) as having much higher activity than the two other low index faces. Also examined are Pd- and Pt- modified Au surfaces for hydroxylamine oxidation by in situ vibrational spectroscopic techniques including, surface enhanced Raman scattering, SERS, surface enhanced infrared absorption, SEIRAS, and IRAS. This information together from data reported in the literature was used to design test a rationally assembled electrocatalytic interface involving both Au and Pd surfaces in Cd2+ containing solutions capable of reducing nitrate, NO3-, beyond the NO2- step in a stepwise fashion. As evidenced by the data collected, Cd UPD on Au promotes the reduction of NO3-, to yield NO2-, which is in turn reduced by Pd, generating other species. In other studies, normalized differential reflectance, Delta R/R, measurements of quasi perfect Pt(111) facets were carried out in aqueous electrolytes. Excellent quantitative agreement with the experimental data was found using a theoretical model that assumes that Delta R/R arises from linear contributions arising from areas covered with water and from various adsorbates modulated in each case by the applied potential. Finally, a chronoamperometric method was developed that allows correlations to be established between the rates of the oxygen reduction reaction, ORR, on the Pt disk of a rotating Pt-ring Pt-disk electrode, the coverage of adsorbed halides, ThetaX-, X- = Cl- or Br-, the amount of solution phase hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, generated at the disk and the applied potential. Analysis of the data collected revealed that the fraction of H2O2 generated at the disk during oxygen reduction as measured by the currents on the ring, reaches a maximum for potentials in the range 0.4 = Eads= 0.5 V vs RHE for all values of ThetaCl- and ThetaBr- examined.

Book Visualizing and Controlling Redox Processes at the Single Molecule particle Level

Download or read book Visualizing and Controlling Redox Processes at the Single Molecule particle Level written by Robert Godin and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis describes our advances in visualizing, monitoring and controlling oxidation-reduction (redox) processes at the single molecule level. Methods center on the use of single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy to understand two distinct themes. The two themes, inspired by biological and material systems, are differentiated by the study of chemical or electrochemical redox reactions. Fluorescence quenching via a photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) mechanism is at the heart of the fluorescence-based single molecule/particle detection of individual analytes that undergo changes in redox states in both cases. Our contributions to the study of heterogeneous single molecule chemical reactions spans the chemical oxidation process of lipid peroxidation to optoelectronic systems under electrochemical control.We initially explored the use of lipophilic fluorogenic antioxidants to monitor the process of lipid peroxidation. We determined that oxidation taking place in liposomes is heterogeneous in nature, with large liposome-to-liposome variations in the extent of oxidation. We next investigated the localisation and retention of dyes in liposomes under the highly dilute conditions required for single molecule experiments. We showed that careful consideration of the dye or probe used in single molecule experiments is warranted. We developed a rapid method based on fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) to determine if a dye or probe of choice is suitable for single molecule experiments in lipid membranes. The influence on the lipid partitioning of the adduct between an analyte of interest and a chemically-activated probe was also revealed using this method.We then applied single molecule spectroelectrochemistry (SMS-EC) techniques to answer key questions regarding heterogeneity in systems of great interest to material scientists. The fluorescence response of individual nanoparticles to applied biases shed light on the conformation and packing of polymer chains and the resulting effect on ion migration. We introduced two-color imaging to SMS-EC for the first time, which allowed us to discriminate between the electrochemical properties of deaggregated and aggregated polymer segments within individual nanoparticles. We subsequently explored the interfacial charge transfer dynamics that take place in dye-sensitized solar cell prototypes. In a SMS-EC setup, the electron density in a semiconductor was controlled by applying an electrochemical potential, and the changes in the rates of interfacial charge transfers was inferred by monitoring the fluorescence intensity. By monitoring the rate of photobleaching in addition to the fluorescence intensity of two sensitizer dyes with distinct excited state potentials, we learned how the rates of interfacial charge transfers change with applied biases and which factors drive these changes.We additionally showcased SMS-EC as a new tool to optically determine the concentration profile of electrochemically-generated products. Once more taking advantage of the advancements in fluorogenic antioxidants, we observed individual reaction products under electrochemical control. We were able to experimentally verify the mass transport process that occurs near a planar electrode surface. We extended the use of SMS-EC to study small molecules in organic solvents, increasing the scope of chemical reactions that can be studied at the single molecule level.We conclude this thesis with final remarks and an outlook for future research. The progress made in studying heterogeneous redox processes at the single molecule will spur new research avenues. We envisage that SMS-EC and other single molecule techniques will gain significant traction as important tools in contemporary chemical research." --
