ScienceTheme 2: Enzyme SystemsNews items have recently been published in both Chemical Science Magazine and Chemistry World Magazine (Royal Society of Chemistry) that highlight work reported by Fraser Armstrong's group (Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford) in a recent Hot Article [Chem. Commun., 2006, 5033, DOI: 10.1039/b614272a]. This work details the development of micro enzyme fuel cells (see below) containing both oxygen-tolerant hydrogenase enzymes for hydrogen oxidation and laccase enzymes for oxygen reduction.
Theme 3: Bioelectrode MaterialsProf. Chris Pickett (School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy, University of East Anglia, Norwich) describes bioinspired hydrogenase mimics in a review article [Chem. Soc. Rev., 2003, 32, 268, DOI: 10.1039/b201317g]. More recent developments have been reported in Nature [Nature, 2005, 433(7026) 610, DOI: 10.1038/nature03298].
