Electrochemical Regeneration of NADH Enhanced by Platinum Nanoparticles

Abstract

Wireless communication: Platinum nanoparticles (nPt) in an electrolyte enhance electron transfer from the electrode to NAD+ during the indirect electrochemical regeneration of NADH (see picture). The intermediate nPt-Hads, formed at negative potential, helps the turnover of the primary mediator M by donating a proton and an electron in a kinetically favorable way.
