Electrochemical Characterization of Biomolecular Electron Transfer at Conductive Polymer Interfaces

Agee, Alec; Gill, Thomas Mark; Pace, Gordon; Segalman, Rachel; Furst, Ariel (The Electrochemical Society, 2023-01-01)

Bio-electrochemical systems (BESs) are promising for renewable energy generation but remain hindered by inefficient electron transfer at electrode surfaces. As the toolbox of bio-anode materials increases, rigorous ...
An Improved Spectrophotometric Method for Toluene‐4‐Monooxygenase Activity

Baskaran, Barathkumar; Gill, Thomas M; Furst, Ariel L (Wiley, 2023-04-03)

Monooxygenases, an important class of enzymes, have been the subject of enzyme engineering due to their high activity and versatile substrate scope. Reactions performed by these biocatalysts have long been monitored by a ...
Self-Assembled Nanocoatings Protect Microbial Fertilizers for Climate-Resilient Agriculture

Burke, Benjamin; Fan, Gang; Wasuwanich, Pris; Moore, Evan B; Furst, Ariel L (American Chemical Society, 2023-11-27)

Chemical fertilizers have been crucial for sustaining the current global population by supplementing overused farmland to support consistent food production, but their use is unsustainable. Pseudomonas chlororaphis is a ...
