Thionine (Lauth′s violet), a metachromatic dye, is widely used as a biological stain of materials such as DNA. Thionine is being studied as an electron mediator in the development of microbial fuel cells and electrochemical biosensors.
In this work we developed a fully integrated biofuel cell on a microchip, which consisted of glucose dehydrogenase supported (carbon nanotubes/thionine/gold nanoparticles)(8) multilayer as the anode, and the (carbon nanotubes/polylysine/laccase)(15) multilayer as the cathode. The as-obtained biofuel cell produced open
A glutamate biosensor based on the electrocatalytic oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), which was generated by the enzymatic reaction, was developed via employing a single-walled carbon nanotubes/thionine (Th-SWNTs) nanocomposite as a mediator and an enzyme immobilization matrix. The
We reported a graphene-based immunosensor for electrochemical quantification of phosphorylated p53 on serine 15 (phospho-p53(15)), a potential biomarker of gamma-radiation exposure. The principle is based on sandwich immunoassay and the resulting immunocomplex is formed among phospho-p53 capture antibody, phospho-p53(15) antigen
We report here a novel detection scheme for simultaneous detection of NADH and H(2)O(2) based on a bifunctional poly(thionine)-modified electrode. Electropolymerization of thionine on a "preanodized" screen-printed carbon electrode effectively lowers the oxidation potential of NADH to 0.15 V (vs.

The fluorescent dyes methylene blue, MB(+), and thionine, Th(+), can be trapped in the pores of mesoporous silica, MP-SiO(2), by means of functional nanostructures consisting of the Mg(2+)- or Zn(2+)-dependent DNAzyme sequences. In the presence of Mg(2+) or Zn(2+) ions
