Electrochemical processes in biological systems
1 online resource (x, 255 pages : : illustrations.)
The first comprehensive book on bioenergetics with emphasis on ion exchange and electron transfer processes in biological membranes and artificial bio-films, Bioenergetics is a field of biochemistry concerned with energy flow in living organisms. Fundamental to biological processes, this active research area includes the study of thousands of different cellular processes such as cellular respiration and the many other metabolic processes that can lead to production and utilization of energy in forms such as ATP molecules. By studying ion exchange and electron transfer processes in biological membranes and artificial bio-films, Electrochemical Processes in Biological Systems addresses how these processes contribute to developing modern biosensor and ion-sensor technology, as well as biofuel cells. Addressing issues as interfacing living systems with electronic materials, energy power generation, and sensor and nanosensor technology, Electrochemical Processes in Biological Systems features: Discussions on the ion fluxes and electron transfer processes in biological membranes and artificial bio-films, An in-depth description of the processes at the interface between the membrane/film and substrate electrode, Application of living biological cells in understanding of these transfer processes, Chapters that also include: cytochromes (P450s) roles in mammalian cellular pathways, reaction mechanism of multicopper blue oxidases related to their use in biodevices such as biofuel cells, electrochemical evaluation of the processes in surface-extracellular matrix and enzyme-based networks. With bioenergetics, bioelectrochemistry, biosensor and biofuel technology at the forefront of biological studies, this book cogently delivers the know-hows for electrochemists, electrocatalytic researchers, biochemists, nanotechnologists, and makes an invaluable supplement to undergraduate, graduate and post-doctorate studies in these fields.
