Peroxynitrite, the primary product of the reaction of superoxide ion and nitric oxide, emerged as an important species with profound biological roles. Relatively speaking, it is a new member of the nitroxidative array of reactive metabolites, and details of its actions, impact on biological systems in health and disease states are still accumulating. It has already been linked to a host of pathological conditions. At the same time, its cytoprotective

Conducting interfaces modified with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) have shown improved electrochemical response for different analytes. The efficient formation of functionalized rGO based materials is thus of current interest for the development of sensitive and selective biosensors. Herein, we report a simple and environmentally friendly method for the formation of a hemin-functionalized rGO hybrid nanomaterial that exhibits remarkable sensitivity

Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) constitutes a major cytotoxic agent, implicated in a host of pathophysiological conditions, thereby stimulating a tremendous interest in evaluating its role as an oxidant in vivo. Some of the detection methods for peroxynitrite include oxidation of fluorescent probes, EPR spectroscopy, chemiluminescence, immunohistochemistry, and probe nitration; however, these are more difficult to apply for real-time quantification due to

We investigated in this paper the sensing performance of inherently conductive polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), functionalized with hemin (iron protoporphyrin) as an electrocatalytic reporter. The sensing platform is prepared by electrodeposition of a composite film of hemin–PEDOT on a 30-m diameter carbon fiber electrode (CFE). The polymerized films were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), which

Nanoscale actuators are essential components of the NEMS (nanoelectromechanical systems) and nanorobots of the future, and are expected to become a major area of development within nanotechnology. This paper demonstrates for the first time that individual polypyrrole (PPy) nanowires with diameters under 100 nm exhibit actuation behavior, and therefore can potentially be used for constructing nanoscale actuators. PPy is an electroactive polymer which

The present invention is a novel, ultra-small tip, internal referenced, amperometric microbiosensor that uses an immobilized biological interface to measure the concentration of an analyte in a specimen. It consists of a casing that narrows to an aperture having a diameter at the tip no greater than 4 um; enclosed within the casing a reference electrode and a working electrode both immersed in electrolyte; within the aperture, an inner polymer film,
