A new conceptual approach to improve the performance of a laccase--based cathode at neutral pH is presented. The working pH of Trametes hirsuta laccase, typically acidic, can be achieved by oxidation of biological compounds such as glucose catalyzed by a second enzyme immobilized in the vicinity of the laccase electrode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
