Abstract
Various nitrate and nitrite reductases are capable of accepting electr ons from artificial donors. Combining these redox active donors with a n amperometric redox electrode which is covered with an immobilized la yer of such a nitrate or nitrite reductase, new enzyme sensors can be created for the detection of nitrate or nitrite, respectively. A range of suitable electron donors for nitrate reductases and nitrite reduct ase from different sources have been selected and characterized by ele ctrochemical methods.
