The ways that redox enzymes communicate with an electrochemical electrode are poorly understood and most systems rely on small molecule mediators as electron shuttles to complete the circuit. The few examples where direct (unmediated) enzyme electrochemistry has been achieved have relied on empirical experimental approaches in electrode modification. In this project a rational approach will be taken, starting with a mediated enzyme electrochemical system which is then systematically deconstructed to produce a minimal enzyme-electrode that is stabilised by non-covalent forces and functions without a mediator. This rational approach will provide new routes to the direct enzyme electrochemistry of other enzyme systems as yet unexplored.

人们对氧化还原酶与电化学电极通信的方式知之甚少，大多数系统依靠小分子介体作为电子穿梭来完成电路。实现直接（非介导）酶电化学的少数例子依赖于电极修饰的经验实验方法。在该项目中，将采取合理的方法，从介导的酶电化学系统开始，然后系统地解构该系统以产生最小的酶电极，该电极通过非共价力和功能稳定，无需介体。这种合理的方法将为尚未探索的其他酶系统的直接酶电化学提供新途径。
