Immobilization of invertase in thiophene-capped poly(methylmethacrylate)/polypyrrole matrices was achieved by constant potential electrolysis using different supporting electrolytes. Optimum reaction conditions such as substrate concentration, temperature, and pH for the enzyme electrodes were determined. The temperature and pH were found to be 60 degrees C and 4.8, respectively. The effect of supporting electrolyte on the enzyme activity revealed that SDS was the best in the immobilization procedure. Michaelis-Menten constant and the maximum reaction rate in PMMA/PPy matrices were of the order of that of pristine polypyrrole. However, in terms of repeated use, the copolymer matrices were superior to polypyrrole.

Immobilization of glucose oxidase onto gelatin for biosensor construction
Emregul, E; Sungur, S; Akbulut, Ural (Informa UK Limited, 2005-01-01)
The properties of a glucose biosensor made by immobilization of glucose oxidase onto gelatin in a layer of electrochemically deposited polyaniline have been investigated. Glucose oxidase was immobilized within gelatin cross-links with chromium(III) acetate. The glucose oxidase biosensor was developed by forming a polyaniline-deposited electrode surface as support for the immobilized enzyme gel, in order to increase its durability. The polyaniline/gelatin/glucose oxidase biosensor has been characterized usin...
Immobilization of catalase in poly(isopropylacrylamide-co-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) thermally reversible hydrogels
Arica, MY; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Oktem, Z; Tuncel, SA (1999-09-01)
Catalase was entrapped in thermally reversible poly (isopropylacrylamide-co-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate) (pNIPAM/HEMA) copolymer hydrogels. The thermoresponsive hydrogels, in cylindIl-rical geometry, were prepared in an aqueous buffer by redox polymerization. It was observed that upon entrapment, the activity retention of catalase was decreased between 47 and 14%, and that increasing the catalase loading of hydrogel adversely affected the activity. The kinetic behaviour of the entrapped enzyme was investigate...

Clinoptilolite (Cpt)-nanohydroxyapatite (HA) (Cpt-HA) scaffolds were fabricated as a potential material for load bearing orthopaedic applications. Cpt-HA materials were successfully synthesized by using microwave assisted reflux method followed by the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) porous scaffold via thermal decomposition process using polyethylene glycol (PEG)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as porogens. The scaffold materials were characterized using x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform Infra-red, Scannin...
Graphene oxide-doped PEDOT:PSS as hole transport layer in inverted bulk heterojunction solar cell

Transparent poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is widely used hole conducting material in optoelectronic devices. Secondary doping of PEDOT:PSS enables the tunability of its electronic properties. In this work, graphene oxide (GO) was used as a secondary dopant for PEDOT:PSS and the doped materials (composites) were tested for their efficiency as hole transport material in inverted bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cell. The composites were studied to unveil the effects of ...

mRNA expressions related to osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells on electro-polished smooth (S), sandblasted small-grit (SSG) and sandblasted large-grit (SLG) surfaces of titanium alloys were investigated in vitro. Gene expression profiles of cells were evaluated using the RT2 Profiler PCR microarray on day 7. Mineralizing tissue-associated proteins, differentiation factors and extracellular matrix enzymes mRNA expressions were measured using Q-PCR. SLG surface upregulated 23 genes over twofolds and...
