SELEX, Aptamer, Biosensor
Dr. Yi Xiao acquired her Ph.D. in Chemistry from Nanjing University (China) in 2000 under the supervision of Professor Hongyuan Chen. In 2001, she began her first post-doctoral appointment in Professor Itamar Willner's group at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel) developing optical and electrochemical biosensors and bioelectronics. In 2004, she started her second post-doctoral appointment at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), working with Nobel Laureate Professor Alan Heeger and Professor Kevin Plaxco to develop electrochemical sensors based on oligonucleotide receptors (aptamers). In 2007, she joined Professor H.T. Soh's laboratory at UCSB as a Research Professor, developing new methods to generate aptamers via SELEX. Dr. Xiao joined Florida International University in 2011 as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to tenured Associate Professor in 2017. She recently moved to the NC State Department of Chemistry as a tenured Associate Professor.

MeSH headings : Apoenzymes / chemistry; Apoenzymes / metabolism; Ascorbic Acid / metabolism; Ascorbic Acid / pharmacology; Biosensing Techniques; Catalysis; Crystallization; Electrochemistry; Electrodes; Electrons; Flavin-Adenine Dinucleotide / chemistry; Glucose / metabolism; Glucose Oxidase / chemistry; Glucose Oxidase / metabolism; Gold; Nanotechnology; Oxidation-Reduction; Oxygen / metabolism
TL;DR:
The reconstitution of an apo-flavoenzyme on a 1.4-nanometer gold nanocrystal functionalized with the cofactor flavin adenine dinucleotide and integrated into a conductive film yields a bioelectrocatalytic system with exceptional electrical contact with the electrode support.

Direct Electrochemistry of Horseradish Peroxidase Immobilized on a Colloid/Cysteamine-Modified Gold Electrode
Analytical Biochemistry, 278(1), 22–28.
author keywords: horseradish peroxidase; direct electrochemistry; Au colloid; cysteamine; biosensor; self-assembled monolayers
MeSH headings : Biosensing Techniques / instrumentation; Colloids; Cysteamine; Electrochemistry; Electrodes; Electron Transport; Enzymes, Immobilized; Gold; Horseradish Peroxidase / metabolism; Hydrogen Peroxide / analysis
TL;DR:
Direct electron transfer of immobilized horseradish peroxidase on gold colloid and its application as a biosensor showed an excellent electrocatalytic response to the reduction of H( 2)O(2) without the aid of an electron mediator and showed a Michaelis-Menten behavior at higher H(2).
