Abstract

Coenzyme F₄₂₀ is recognized as a crucial electron carrier in methane-generating metabolism but, beyond this, has garnered significant attention for its role in diverse microbial physiologies and relevance in industrial, medical, and environmental applications. However, one limitation of current application of F₄₂₀ is the necessity of chemical electron donors for its reduction. In this study, an electrochemical reaction system was designed to facilitate electron transfer between the electrode and F₄₂₀ using F₄₂₀-dependent sulfite reductase (Fsr) as the catalyst and benzyl viologen (BV) as the redox mediator. Photometric analysis and cyclic potential scanning demonstrated that the occurrence of bidirectional (reversible) electrochemical oxidation and reduction of F₄₂₀ in this system depended on the electrode potential. The formal redox potential of F₄₂₀ in this system was −540 mV vs. Ag|AgCl|sat. KCl, which aligned with values previously determined using biochemical assays.

期刊介绍： An International Journal Devoted to Electrochemical Aspects of Biology and Biological Aspects of Electrochemistry Bioelectrochemistry is an international journal devoted to electrochemical principles in biology and biological aspects of electrochemistry. It publishes experimental and theoretical papers dealing with the electrochemical aspects of: • Electrified interfaces (electric double layers, adsorption, electron transfer, protein electrochemistry, basic principles of biosensors, biosensor interfaces and bio-nanosensor design and construction. • Electric and magnetic field effects (field-dependent processes, field interactions with molecules, intramolecular field effects, sensory systems for electric and magnetic fields, molecular and cellular mechanisms) • Bioenergetics and signal transduction (energy conversion, photosynthetic and visual membranes) • Biomembranes and model membranes (thermodynamics and mechanics, membrane transport, electroporation, fusion and insertion) • Electrochemical applications in medicine and biotechnology (drug delivery and gene transfer to cells and tissues, iontophoresis, skin electroporation, injury and repair). • Organization and use of arrays in-vitro and in-vivo, including as part of feedback control. • Electrochemical interrogation of biofilms as generated by microorganisms and tissue reaction associated with medical implants.
