Es. Ryabova et al., Influence of biologically relevant ligands on oxidation of reduced glucoseoxidase by electrochemically generated [Ru-III(bpy)(2)XY] complexes, J MOL CAT B, 11(2-3), 2000, pp. 139-145
Complex formation between cis-[Ru(bpy)(2)(H2O)(2)](2+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridy
l) and some biologically relevant ligands (pyridines, imidazole, histidines
) increases the rate constant for the oxidation of reduced glucose oxidase
(generated in situ by D-glucose from the native enzyme) by the correspondin
g Ru-III derivatives generated electrochemically. Almost a 20-fold rate acc
eleration is demonstrated by the cyclic voltammetry for histidine as ligand
, the rate constant being ca. 10(6) M-1 s(-1) at pH 7 (0.1 M phosphate). (C
