Fundamentals and Applications of Enzymatic Bioelectrocatalysis
Abstract
Bioelectrocatalysis is a major cross-disciplinary sub-field of electrocatalysis, which couples the advantages of biocatalysis and electrocatalysis. Bioelectrocatalysis utilized biologically-derived materials as biocatalysis to catalyze oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions on conductive electrode surfaces. This chapter will focus and detail the fundamental aspects and applications of enzymatic bioelectrocatalysis where isolated oxidoreductases are commonly used as a biocatalyst. the central concepts of the electrochemistry of redox enzymes, structure, function, and enzyme engineering strategies will be described. the chapter will also summarize the mechanisms of electron transfer, electrode materials, and electrode-biocatalysis electrical connections. Finally, this chapter will discuss the three main applications of enzymatic bioelectrocatalysis, specifically electrochemical biosensor devices, fuel cells, and bioelectrosynthetic systems.
