Electrochemical detection of glutathione using redox indicators.

ABSTRACT: The nucleophilic addition of the aminothiols homocysteine (HCY), cysteine (CYS), and glutathione (GSH) to the electrogenerated quinone of fluorone black (1) via the ECE mechanism is reported. It is demonstrated that 1selectively reacts with GSH to form the bis-GSH adduct, 1-(GSH)(2), while only the monothiol adducts were generated in the presence of HCY and CYS (1-HCY and 1-CYS, respectively). The more anodic E(pa) of 1-(GSH)2 relative to 1 and 1-GSH (DeltaE(pa) approximately +0.14) is the voltammetric signature that allows the discrimination of GSH from HCY and CYS. It is also shown that the presence of structurally similar aminothiols-HCY and CYS-posed no interference to the signature voltammetric response of 1-(GSH)2.

Metallacarboranes as tunable redox potential electrochemical indicators for screening of gene mutation.

Project description:The substitution of hydrogen with chlorine in the metallacarborane [3,3-Fe(1,2-closo-C2B9H11)2]- cluster modulates the formal potential of the Fe3+/Fe2+ redox couple, shifting it to a more positive value. Hence, very similar redox probes with a wide range of formal potentials, ranging from negative to positive values, are available. Thus, we have achieved the synthesis and studied the electrochemical behaviour of the sodium salt of [3,3-Fe(8,9,12-Cl3-1,2-closo-C2B9H8)2]- in aqueous media. This strategy allows tuning of the redox potential of the [3,3-Fe(1,2-closo-C2B9H11)2]- framework with a minor change in its shape and dimensions. We also describe the interaction of the prepared [3,3-Fe(8,9,12-Cl3-1,2-closo-C2B9H8)2]- and the pristine [3,3-Fe(1,2-closo-C2B9H11)2]- with DNA. These studies have been carried out not only with DNA in solution but also with DNA immobilized on screen-printed gold electrodes. The results obtained point to a strong interaction between the metallacarboranes and DNA, to a different extent with single stranded DNA (ssDNA) compared to double stranded DNA (dsDNA). This property makes them selective and wide-ranging potential electrochemical indicators of hybridization. The suitability of these new redox indicators for selective DNA biosensor development has been probed by the direct detection of two different mutations associated with cystic fibrosis in PCR amplicons extracted from blood cells.

In Vivo Plant Bio-Electrochemical Sensor Using Redox Cycling.

Project description:This work presents an in vivo stem-mounted sensor for Nicotiana tabacum plants and an in situ cell suspension sensor for Solanum lycopersicum cells. Stem-mounted sensors are mechanically stable and less sensitive to plant and air movements than the previously demonstrated leaf-mounted sensors. Interdigitated-electrode-arrays with a dual working electrode configuration were used with an auxiliary electrode and an Ag/AgCl quasi-reference electrode. Signal amplification by redox cycling is demonstrated for a plant-based sensor responding to enzyme expression induced by different cues in the plants. Functional biosensing is demonstrated, first for constitutive enzyme expression and later, for heat-shock-induced enzyme expression in plants. In the cell suspension with redox cycling, positive detection of the enzyme β-glucuronidase (GUS) was observed within a few minutes after applying the substrate (pNPG, 4-Nitrophenyl β-D-glucopyranoside), following redox reactions of the product (p-nitrophenol (pNP)). It is assumed that the initial reaction is the irreversible reduction of pNP to p-hydroxylaminophenol. Next, it can be either oxidized to p-nitrosophenol or dehydrated and oxidized to aminophenol. Both last reactions are reversible and can be used for redox cycling. The dual-electrode redox-cycling electrochemical signal was an order of magnitude larger than that of conventional single-working electrode transducers. A simple model for the gain is presented, predicting that an even larger gain is possible for sub-micron electrodes. In summary, this work demonstrates, for the first time, a redox cycling-based in vivo plant sensor, where diffusion-based amplification occurs inside a tobacco plant's tissue. The technique can be applied to other plants as well as to medical and environmental monitoring systems.

Electrochemical detection of intracellular and cell membrane redox systems in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Redox mediators can interact with eukaryote cells at a number of different cell locations. While cell membrane redox centres are easily accessible, the redox centres of catabolism are situated within the cytoplasm and mitochondria and can be difficult to access. We have systematically investigated the interaction of thirteen commonly used lipophilic and hydrophilic mediators with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A double mediator system is used in which ferricyanide is the final electron acceptor (the reporter mediator). After incubation of cells with mediators, steady state voltammetry of the ferri/ferrocyanide redox couple allows quantitation of the amount of mediator reduced by the cells. The plateau current at 425 mV vs Ag/AgCl gives the analytical signal. The results show that five of the mediators interact with at least three different trans Plasma Membrane Electron Transport systems (tPMETs), and that four mediators cross the plasma membrane to interact with cytoplasmic and mitochondrial redox molecules. Four of the mediators inhibit electron transfer from S. cerevisiae. Catabolic inhibitors were used to locate the cellular source of electrons for three of the mediators.

Electrochemical Redox Refrigeration.

Project description:The high conformational entropy change of the Fe(CN)63-/4- redox reaction can be used as the basis for a compact electrochemical refrigerator. This device is comparable to a liquid version of a Peltier cooler, with two distinct advantages: (1) the entropy change per carrier (1.5 mV/K) of the electrochemical refrigerant is more than 5 times larger than that of state-of-the-art solid thermoelectric materials; and (2) the liquid electrolyte can be advected continuously away from the cooling junction, so that Joule heating in the bulk element does not diminish the delivered cooling effect. In this work, we use infrared microscopy to visualize the thermal aspects of Fe(CN)63-/4- redox, and compare the estimated cooling to calculated values with and without electrolyte flow. While the temperature differences achieved in a single cell are small (~50 mK) and not enhanced by electrolyte flow, the cooling power density (~0.5 W/cm3) is high when normalized to the small electrode volume. Non-dimensional figures of merit are proposed to identify electrochemical redox species for maximizing the cooling effect.

Visualization of the Redox Status of Cytosolic Glutathione Using the Organelle- and Cytoskeleton-Targeted Redox Sensors.

Project description:Glutathione is a small thiol-containing peptide that plays a central role in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. Glutathione serves as a physiologic redox buffer by providing thiol electrons for catabolizing harmful oxidants and reversing oxidative effects on biomolecules. Recent evidence suggests that the balance of reduced and oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) defines the redox states of Cys residues in proteins and fine-tunes their stabilities and functions. To elucidate the redox balance of cellular glutathione at subcellular resolution, a number of redox-sensitive green fluorescent protein (roGFP) variants have been developed. In this study, we constructed and functionally validated organelle- and cytoskeleton-targeted roGFP and elucidated the redox status of the cytosolic glutathione at a subcellular resolution. These new redox sensors firmly established a highly reduced redox equilibrium of cytosolic glutathione, wherein significant deviation was observed among cells. By targeting the sensor to the cytosolic and lumen sides of the Golgi membrane, we identified a prominent redox gradient across the biological membrane at the Golgi body. The results demonstrated that organelle- and cytoskeleton-targeted sensors enable the assessment of glutathione oxidation near the cytosolic surfaces of different organelle membranes.

Fluorescent and electrochemical dual-mode detection of Chikungunya virus E1 protein using fluorophore-embedded and redox probe-encapsulated liposomes.

Project description:The critical goal of sensitive virus detection should apply in the early stage of infection, which may increase the probable survival rate. To achieve the low detection limit for the early stage where a small number of viruses are present in the sample, proper amplified signals from a sensor can make readable and reliable detection. In this work, a new model of fluorescent and electrochemical dual-mode detection system has been developed to detect virus, taking recombinant Chikungunya virus E1 protein (CHIK-VP) as an example. The hydrophobic quantum dots (QDs) embedded in the lipid bilayer of liposome and methylene blue (MB) encapsulated in the inner core of liposomes played a role of dual-signaling modulator. After CHIK-VP addition, the nanocomposites and APTES-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) were conjugated with antibodies to form a sandwich structure and separated from the medium magnetically. The nanoconjugates have been burst out by chloroform as surfactant, and both the QDs and MB are released from the liposome and were then monitored through changes in the fluorescence and electrochemical signals, respectively. These two fluorometric and electrochemical signals alteration quantified the CHIK-VP in the range of femtogram to nanogram per milliliter level with a LOD of 32 fg mL-1, making this liposomal system a potential matrix in a virus detection platform.

Real-Time Detection of Hydroxyl Radical Generated at Operating Electrodes via Redox-Active Adduct Formation Using Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy.

Project description:The hydroxyl radical (•OH) is one of the most attractive reactive oxygen species due to its high oxidation power and its clean (photo)(electro)generation from water, leaving no residues and creating new prospects for efficient wastewater treatment and electrosynthesis. Unfortunately, in situ detection of •OH is challenging due to its short lifetime (few ns). Using lifetime-extending spin traps, such as 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) to generate the [DMPO-OH]• adduct in combination with electron spin resonance (ESR), allows unambiguous determination of its presence in solution. However, this method is cumbersome and lacks the necessary sensitivity and versatility to explore and quantify •OH generation dynamics at electrode surfaces in real time. Here, we identify that [DMPO-OH]• is redox-active with E0 = 0.85 V vs Ag|AgCl and can be conveniently detected on Au and C ultramicroelectrodes. Using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM), a four-electrode technique capable of collecting the freshly generated [DMPO-OH]• from near the electrode surface, we detected its generation in real time from operating electrodes. We also generated images of [DMPO-OH]• production and estimated and compared its generation efficiency at various electrodes (boron-doped diamond, tin oxide, titanium foil, glassy carbon, platinum, and lead oxide). Density functional calculations, ESR measurements, and bulk calibration using the Fenton reaction helped us unambiguously identify [DMPO-OH]• as the source of redox activity. We hope these findings will encourage the rapid, inexpensive, and quantitative detection of •OH for conducting informed explorations of its role in mediated oxidation processes at electrode surfaces for energy, environmental, and synthetic applications.

A Redox-Switchable Colorimetric Probe for "Naked-Eye" Detection of Hypochlorous Acid and Glutathione.

Project description:We report the development of a new colorimetric probe (L-ol) for investigations of the redox process regulated by hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and glutathione (GSH). The HOCl/GSH redox-switching cycle process was investigated in detail by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, colorimetric analysis assay and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The switchable absorbance responses were attributed to the HOCl-induced oxidation of the p-methoxyphenol unit to the benzoquinone derivative (L-one) and sequential reduction of L-one to hydroquinone (L-ol') by GSH. In phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer, the absorbance of L-ol at 619 nm underwent a remarkable bathochromic-shift, accompanied by a color change from pale yellow to blue in the presence of HOCl. With further addition of GSH, the absorbance of L-one exclusively recovered to the original level. Meanwhile, the blue-colored solution returned to the naive pale yellow color in the presence of GSH. The detection limits for HOCl and GSH were calculated to be 6.3 and 96 nM according to the IUPAC criteria. Furthermore, L-ol-loaded chromatography plates have been prepared and successfully applied to visualize and quantitatively analyze HOCl in several natural waters.

Redox-magnetohydrodynamic microfluidics without channels and compatible with electrochemical detection under immunoassay conditions.

Project description:A unique capability of redox-magnetohydrodynamics (redox-MHD) for handling liquids on a small scale was demonstrated. A 1.2 muL solution plug was pumped from an injection site to a detector without the need for a channel to direct the flow. The redox pumping species did not interfere with enzymatic activity in a solution compatible with enzyme-linked immunoassays. Alkaline phosphatase (AP), a common enzyme label, converted p-aminophenyl phosphate (PAPP) to p-aminophenol (PAP(R)) in the presence of 2.5 mM Ru(NH(3))(6)Cl(2) and 2.5 mM Ru(NH(3))(6) Cl(3), in 0.1 M Tris buffer (pH = 9). A solution plug containing PAPP (no AP) was pumped through the surrounding solution containing AP (no PAPP), and the enzymatically generated PAP(R) was easily detected and distinguishable electrochemically from the pumping species with square wave voltammetry down to 0.1 mM concentrations. The test device consisted of a silicon chip containing individually addressable microband electrodes, placed on a 0.5 T NdFeB permanent magnet with the field oriented perpendicular to the chip. A 8.0 mm wide x 15.5 mm long x 1.5 mm high volume of solution was contained by a poly(dimethylsiloxane) gasket and capped with a glass slide. A steady-state fluid velocity of approximately 30 mum/s was generated in a reinforcing flow configuration between oppositely polarized sets of pumping electrodes with approximately 2.1 muA.

Rapid SARS-CoV-2 Detection Using Electrochemical Immunosensor.

Project description:The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has been declared an international public health crisis. It is essential to develop diagnostic tests that can quickly identify infected individuals to limit the spread of the virus and assign treatment options. Herein, we report a proof-of-concept label-free electrochemical immunoassay for the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus via the spike surface protein. The assay consists of a graphene working electrode functionalized with anti-spike antibodies. The concept of the immunosensor is to detect the signal perturbation obtained from ferri/ferrocyanide measurements after binding of the antigen during 45 min of incubation with a sample. The absolute change in the [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- current upon increasing antigen concentrations on the immunosensor surface was used to determine the detection range of the spike protein. The sensor was able to detect a specific signal above 260 nM (20 µg/mL) of subunit 1 of recombinant spike protein. Additionally, it was able to detect SARS-CoV-2 at a concentration of 5.5 × 105 PFU/mL, which is within the physiologically relevant concentration range. The novel immunosensor has a significantly faster analysis time than the standard qPCR and is operated by a portable device which can enable on-site diagnosis of infection.
