Resumo da Palestra:

“Over the last three decades, amperometric biosensors for glucose have been engineered for improved selectivity and stability using osmium redox polymers. This talk will focus on the rational design of organic redox polymers for biosensors and smart contact lens systems. This will include mediation of new classes of enzymes, including: FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase, PQQ-dependent glucose dehydrogenase and lactate oxidase enzymes. Performance of quinone redox polymers will be compared to ferrocene redox polymers and osmium redox polymers to show the advantages of rational design in improving biosensor sensitivity and performance.”
