Zastosowanie metod elektrochemicznych w bioanalityce : wybrane zagadnienia
Journal Title: Wiadomości Chemiczne - Year 2015, Vol 69, Issue 9
Abstract
The cooperation of scientists specializing in different fields has given rise to the integration of previously distinct thematic areas and creation of new multidimensional disciplines as a result. Biochemistry, which has derived from the borderline of chemistry and biology, can be set as a good example. In this short review an insight into electrochemical studies, which are currently carried out in the Department of Microbioanalytics at the Faculty of Chemistry (Warsaw University of Technology), was presented. Three independent scientific pathways introducing electrochemical methods for biochemical and bioanalytical purposes can be distinguished among the ongoing researches. The first one embraces the design of the so-called electronic tongue – a system used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of liquid samples of complex composition. In this work, potentiometric sensor arrays were applied to develop an electronic tongue system enabling the evaluation of the effectiveness of bitter taste masking of pharmaceuticals. The second scientific pathway involves voltammetric studies of the interactions of biologically active peptides with copper(II) ions. The interest was drawn to clarify and describe the role of β-amyloid and NSFRY copper(II) complexes, relevant to Alzheimer’s disease occurrence and cardiovascular system disorder respectively. Finally, boronic acids and their derivatives, exhibiting the affinity for molecules possessing 1,2 or 1,3-diol group in their structure, were used as selective molecular receptors in the third research project. The studies include the selection of the optimal method and conditions of the immobilization process, providing the most favorable receptor layer structure, and the determination of the performances of constructed electrochemical sensor towards particular bioanalytes.
