Abstract

Oriented assembly and interfacial electron transfer of flavin coenzymes on titanium dioxide (TiO₂) electrodes have been studied to develop the smart enzyme sensors or reactors. It was demonstrated that FMN and FAD were chemically adsorbed via phosphate moiety on TiO₂ surface in weak acidic solutions to make monolayers. Quasi reversible slow electron transfer was observed on the FMN or FAD-adsorbed TiO₂ electrodes. It was further demonstrated that the FMN-assembled TiO₂ electrode electrochemically catalyzed the oxidation of NADH. The FMN-assembled TiO₂ was then combined with some dehydrogenases and NADH to perform amperometric sensing for enzyme substrates. The results suggest that the assembled flavin coenzyme might be promising for a nanospace interface to achieve electrochemical communication between redox active biomolecules and the metal oxide electrodes.
