“…The redox pendants are resonant with diffusible redox mediators and can either be fully organic molecules or transition metal-based organometallic complexes. For instance, methylene blue diffusible mediators have been electropolymerized on electrode surfaces [ 141 ]. Branched redox polymers consist of tethers or linker arms that tie redox pendants to a conducting or non-conducting polymer backbone, rendering the said pendant a capacity for “bounded diffusion” [ 75 ].…”

Photobioelectrocatalysis has recently attracted particular research interest owing to the possibility to achieve sunlight-driven biosynthesis, biosensing, power generation, and other niche applications. However, physiological incompatibilities between biohybrid components lead to poor electrical contact at the biotic-biotic and biotic-abiotic interfaces. Establishing an electrochemical communication between these different interfaces, particularly the biocatalyst-electrode interface, is critical for the performance of the photobioelectrocatalytic system. While different artificial redox mediating approaches spanning across interdisciplinary research fields have been developed in order to electrically wire biohybrid components during bioelectrocatalysis, a systematic understanding on physicochemical modulation of artificial redox mediators is further required. Herein, we review and discuss the use of diffusible redox mediators and redox polymer-based approaches in artificial redox-mediating systems, with a focus on photobioelectrocatalysis. The future possibilities of artificial redox mediator system designs are also discussed within the purview of present needs and existing research breadth.

Lactate sensing has high importance for metabolic diseases diagnostics, food spoilage, sports medicine, or the construction of biofuel cell devices. Therefore, continuous lactate sensing devices which enable accurate detection should be developed. Here we present the overexpression and utilization of FMN-lactate dehydrogenase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae for oxygen-insensitive, continuous amperometric lactate biosensing. The developed sensors exhibit a high signal-to-noise ratio, low interference effect, and a wide range of linear responses using both direct and mediated electron transfer configurations. The thionine-based mediated electron transfer configuration was stable for 8 hours of continuous activity and two weeks of periodic activity with storage at 4°C. We further grafted the redox mediators on multiwall carbon-nanotubes to lower the redox mediator leaching effect. The developed grafting technique improved the biosensor stability and allowed continuous operation for at least 20 hours. Both the mediator-entrapped and the grafted bioanodes were further coupled with a bilirubin oxidase-based biocathode to construct a biofuel cell device. The various biofuel cells have generated a maximal power output of 110µW/cm2 under atmospheric conditions.

The use of predesigned bioengineered proteins for self‐grown nanomaterials is a promising strategy that opens new scientific directions for biotic‐abiotic nano‐bio hybrid configurations. The unique properties of nanomaterials can alter the original biological paradigm to allow novel metabolic routes or new activation triggers. In this work, we present a synthetic methodology for self‐grown cadmium sulfide quantum dots in a 12‐mer bioengineered stable protein 1 under ambient conditions. The sized controlled crystalline QDs are characterized and utilized for NADPH regeneration that is in turn used for the activation of the imine reductase enzyme. The presented nano‐bio hybrid system enables the production of a single enantiomeric product that is required for the pharmaceutical industry. Our designed system presents superior activity and can continuously operate for at least 22 hrs with 82 % conversion efficiency. The obtained results may lay the foundations for future nano‐bio hybrid systems that can operate both in vitro and in vivo.
