摘要: Herein we report the mediated electrocatalytic voltammetry of plant molybdoenzyme nitrate reductase (NR) from Arabidopsis thaliana using established truncated molybdenum-heme fragment at a glassy carbon (GC) electrode. Methyl viologen (MV), benzyl (BV), and anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid (AQ) are employed as effective artificial electron transfer partners for NR, differing in redox potential over range about 220 mV delivering different reductive driving forces to enzyme. Nitrate is reduced Mo active site yielding oxidized form enzyme, which reactivated by electro-reduced mediator. Digital simulation was performed single set enzyme dependent parameters all catalytic obtained under sweep rates various substrate or mediator concentrations. The kinetic constants digital provide new insight into kinetics NR mechanism.
