Many technologies involve immobilizing catalysts such as enzymes on surfaces, and the catalytic activities or functional efficiencies of these surface-bound catalysts can vary depending on orientations, localized binding sites, active sites, and intrinsic molecular nature. Accurate and rapid quantification of reaction products from surface-immobilized catalysts is crucial for understanding the selectivity, mechanisms, and reaction dynamics of catalytic systems and for revealing heterogeneous catalytic activities and reaction sites for applications such as biosensors and energy conversion/generation systems. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of localized enzymatic activity measurements using microscale carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>)-sensitive ion-selective electrode (ISE) pipettes (0.5-2.5 μm tip radius) as a probe, with in situ potentiometric scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). We develop carbonate (CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2-</sup>) ionophore-incorporated ISEs exhibiting a Nernstian response (26.7 mV/decade) with a detection limit of 1.72 μM and explore surface-immobilized formate dehydrogenase (FDH) activity by detecting CO<sub>2</sub> generated by the enzymatic reaction via potentiometric measurements. SECM is used for real-time spatial/temporal investigation of FDH immobilized onto the surface at a micrometer-scale resolution. Moreover, unlike voltammetric techniques based on faradaic reactions, the potentiometric measurements using ISEs allow highly sensitive and selective detection of CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2-</sup>, rendering efficient quantification of CO<sub>2</sub> without interference from solution composition changes arising from faradaic processes. The total amount of CO<sub>2</sub> generated at an FDH-immobilized Au ultramicroelectrode is quantified as a function of coenzyme, i.e., NAD<sup>+</sup>, and substrate, i.e., formate, concentrations both in constant tip-sample distance mode and variable depth mode. Finally, we demonstrate the use of the ISE to quantify CO<sub>2</sub> levels in blood serum.

Hydrophobic Gating and Spatial Confinement in Hierarchically Organized Block Copolymer-Nanopore Electrode Arrays for Electrochemical Biosensing of 4-Ethyl Phenol
Julius Reitemeier, Seol Baek, Paul W. Bohn
IF 8.2
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
Hydrophobic gating in biological transport proteins is regulated by stimulus-specific switching between filled and empty nanocavities, endowing them with selective mass transport capabilities. Inspired by these, solid-state nanochannels have been integrated into functional materials for a broad range of applications, such as energy conversion, filtration, and nanoelectronics, and here we extend these to electrochemical biosensors coupled to mass transport control elements. Specifically, we report hierarchically organized structures with block copolymers on tyrosinase-modified two-electrode nanopore electrode arrays (BCP@NEAs) as stimulus-controlled electrochemical biosensors for alkylphenols. A polystyrene-<i>b</i>-poly(4-vinyl)pyridine (PS-<i>b</i>-P4VP) membrane placed atop the NEA endows the system with potential-responsive gating properties, where water transport is spatially and temporarily gated through hydrophobic P4VP nanochannels by the application of appropriate potentials. The reversibility of hydrophobic voltage-gating makes it possible to capture and confine analyte species in the attoliter-volume vestibule of cylindrical nanopore electrodes, enabling redox cycling and yielding enhanced currents with amplification factors >100× when operated in a generator-collector mode. The enzyme-coupled sensing capabilities are demonstrated using nonelectroactive 4-ethyl phenol, exploiting the tyrosinase-catalyzed turnover into reversibly redox-active quinones, then using the quinone-catechol redox reaction to achieve ultrasensitive cycling currents in confined BCP@NEA sensors giving a limit-of-detection of ∼120 nM. The mass transport controlled sensing platform described here is relevant to the development of enzyme-coupled multiplex biosensors for sensitive and selective detection of biomarkers and metabolites in next-generation point-of-care devices.
