Bovine cytochrome c oxidase is immobilized in a gold substrate- supported lipid bilayer membrane to investigate reduction of oxygen using flow through detection technique. The results shown that system temperature, pH and component of solution affect the electroreductive rate of oxygen. In each case the reduction rate of oxygen is controlled by electron transfer. The oxidase modified electrode can be used for the direct electroreduction of oxygen to water in a biofuel cell.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
