Abstract
The present invention provides for electrode assemblies and methods in which electron transfer between a redox reaction product and an electrically conductive electrode material is facilitated by a metallo macrocyclic compound, preferably a metallo isoindole ringed compound and more preferably a ferro isoindole ringed compound. The redox reaction is usually catalysized by a redox enzyme, such as an oxidase.
Claims21
An hydrogen peroxide electrode assembly comprising:
- a) a ferro isoindole ringed compound,
- b) an electrode, and
- c) an oxidase,
- wherein said oxidase is attached to an analyte or an analyte analog and said oxidase can prevent said analyte from binding to an analyte binding moiety;
- and
- wherein said oxidase has sufficient activity to catalyse hydrogen peroxide production in detectable amounts.
