Electrochemical assay of superoxide based on biomimetic enzyme at highly conductive TiO2 nanoneedles: from principle to applications in living cells

Abstract

A novel strategy for extremely durable, reliable, and selective in situ real-time determination of superoxide anion (O2˙) based on direct electron transfer of a biomimeticsuperoxide dismutase (SOD), Mn3(PO4)2, at highly conductive TiO2 nanoneedles is reported for the first time, and is further exploited for the determination of O2˙ from living normal and cancer ovary cells directly adhered onto the modified surface, suggesting that O2˙ might be proposed as a biomarker of cancer.
