95%), acetone (AR Grade), methanol (AR Grade) and acetonitrile (AR Grade) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Korea and used as received. HydroThane?: hydrophilic thermoplastic polyurethane (HPU, aliphatic type (AL-25-80A), 25% water uptake) was purchased selleckchem Nintedanib from CardioTech International, Inc. (Wilmington, MA, USA). All of other chemicals were of at least reagent grade and were used without further purification. Deionized water (18 M��?cm) from Milli Q water purification system was used for preparing buffer and stock solutions. Sodium nitrite solution was freshly prepared just before the experiment.The lyophilized powder of nitrite reductase (EC 1.7.2.1, purified from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides forma sp. denitrificans) was purchased from NECi (Lake Linden, MI, USA), and used as received.

The molecular mass of the enzyme is ~80 kDa [36], and specific activity is 2 U/mg.2.2. Synthesis of CHIT-V1-(3-Ammoniopropyl)-1��-methyl-4,4��-bipyridinium (I?, Br?) (viologen, Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries 1) was synthesized according Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries to the method we reported elsewhere [22] with some modifications. One wt% of chitosan solution (0.2 mL), which was prepared according to the reported procedures [45,46], was put into a flat-bottomed glass vial, and 0.7 mL of water was added. Into this chitosan solution 50 mg of viologen (1) was added, and the pH of the solution was slowly adjusted with dilute NaOH to ~7.0. Then 0.1 mL of 2.5% of glutaraldehyde was added dropwise, and once again, the pH of this solution was adjusted to ~7.0. The mixture was allowed to react with stirring for 4 hours at 60 ��C.

After the reaction the formed Schiff��s base was reduced by adding 1 mL of 0.5 M sodium cyanoborohydride for 1 Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries hour at room temperature. The reaction mixture was transferred to a microcon (Utracel YM-3, 3000 MWCO) and the small molecules Inhibitors,Modulators,Libraries were removed by the ultrafiltration at 10,000 rpm. This operation was repeated six times by filling the tube with pure water until the filtrate did not show any detectable CV peaks for viologen species. After the separation of redox-active small molecules, the supernatant in the tube was collected as the target Entinostat product, while the solid in the tube was discarded as by-product. The volume and concentration of obtained product were 150 ��L and 0.3 wt%, respectively. The CHIT-V synthesis method is shown schematically in Figure 2.Figure 2.CHIT-V synthesis scheme.2.3.

Co-immobilization of NiR and CHIT-VGCEs were polished successively with 2, 1 and 0.3 ��m polishing powder (alumina, Buehler) on a polishing pad (Buehler), followed selleck catalog by sonication for 5 min in a mixed solution of water and ethanol (50 v/v %), and dried with nitrogen gas. Then, the required volumes of enzyme solution (3 mg/mL, in 0.05 M phosphate buffer (PB), pH 7.0) and CHIT-V solution (0.3 wt%) were thoroughly mixed in a 0.2 mL Eppendorf tube by vigorous vortexing. Three ��L of the mixture was dropped on the pretreated GCE surface and allowed to dry in a vacuum dessicator at room temperature for 3 min.
