Electrochemical calibration curves recorded at enzyme-modified micro- or nanoelectrodes are often quantitatively analysed using graphical approaches directly inspired from the practice widely used in enzymatic analysis when enzymes as well as their substrate and cofactors are homogeneously distributed in the electrolytic solution [1-3]. We will introduce a concise and simple but highly representative model [4] that demonstrates that this practice yields incorrect interpretation of the experimental results even for simple Michaelis-Menten mechanisms. The present modelling makes it possible to establish the correct relationships linking calibration currents and bulk substrate concentrations by a simple method allowing to take into account the biases due to diffusional constraints when steady or quasi-steady state conditions are achieved as occurs experimentally during calibrations of micro- and nanoelectrochemical sensors.These correct relationships provide kinetic data characterizing a given sensor that ought to be considered whenever a calibrated enzymatic electrochemical sensor is aimed to be used under non-steady state condition, e.g., as for monitoring transient concentration releases of target analytes under in vivo or pseudo in vivo conditions.The authors would like to acknowledge support from joint sino-french CNRS IRP NanoBioCatEchem.

Provided that hydrogen can be safely stored and transported at high densities, hydrogen fuel cells would offer highly efficient and completely environmentally friendly solutions for vehicle propulsion. However, neither compressed gas nor liquid hydrogen seems safe enough for everyday use in mobile applications given the risk of accidents and their possible consequences in urban environments related to the high flammability of hydrogen. Therefore, approaches consisting in adsorbing hydrogen atoms (i.e., H rather than H2) appear to offer an excellent solution for its storage in order to propel light and heavy vehicles in urban environments and evidently in between cities. Moreover, compared to solutions based on electric batteries, the ecological and environmental advantage would be obvious.Among the possible materials for storing hydrogen, graphene (Gr) has been suggested to be one of the most promising materials provided that a significant H/Gr weight ratio (ww%) is achieved. Specifically, the US Department of Energy (DOE) has set a target of 5.5 ww% to be achieved by 2025 as a condition for becoming operational. This goal is however extremely far from what can be achieved presently by direct storage of hydrogen molecules (H2) even using single graphene monolayers (SLGr) by physical adsorption because this requires extreme temperatures and pressures given the too weak attractive van der Waals forces and the stability of H2 with respect to its two dissociated atoms (H) and the intrinsic stability of the graphene sp2-carbon resonant network.In this respect, if possible, a stable chemical adsorption of atomic hydrogen on SLGr appears as the Holy Grail with a theoretical maximum storage capacity of 7.7 ww% for Gr-H atomic adducts and optimal safety conditions and performance. However, generating compact Gr-H adducts from H2 again requires extreme temperatures and pressures.On the contrary, hydrogen atoms can easily be produced under mild conditions by electrochemical reduction of common aqueous acidic solutions at the surface of a platinum nanoelectrode placed in straight contact with a SLGr (see adjacent figure) and spread spontaneously on the graphene sheet by reversible adsorption and site to site hopping diffusion at room temperature and atmospheric pressure and without significantly distorting the graphene geometry suggesting a physisorption rather than a covalent bonding [1]. The amount of platinum needed is minimal because it only serves as a catalyst as we were able to demonstrate using dynamic electrochemistry and SERS isotopic Raman spectroscopy. In addition, the process significantly rapid kinetics and its storage capacity (6.6 ww%, viz., more than 85% of the theoretical maximum, being already higher than the target set by DOE [2]) are associated with a substantial stability of the Gr-H layers at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Furthermore, one would not need to proceed through the intermediacy of hydrogen gas for Gr-H reservoir loading, nor for its unloading to feed fuel cells anodes, removing then two important steps. The authors would like to acknowledge support from joint sino-french CNRS IRP NanoBioCatEchem.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) are important intracellular redox-active molecules involved in various pathological processes including inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, etc. However, their fast dynamic changes and mutual regulatory kinetic relationship during these biological processes were hard to simultaneously investigate intracellularly at single cells level. A dual-channel nanowire electrode integrating two conductive nanowires [1], one functionalized with platinum nanoparticles [2], and the other with conductive polymer [3], was nanofabricated to allow the selective and simultaneous real-time monitoring of intracellular ROS and NADH releases by mitochondria in single living MCF-7 tumoral cells stimulated by resveratrol. The release of ROS was observed to occur a few tenths of a second before that of NADH. Beyond the importance of such an information impossible to acquire by other means, this work established the feasibility of simultaneously monitoring two intracellular species and their kinetics relationships over sub-second time scales. It is expected that this concept will benefit to a deeper understanding of mutual regulatory relationship between crucial intracellular molecular markers during physiological and pathological processes as well as for evaluating medical treatments.The authors would like to acknowledge support from joint sino-french CNRS IRP NanoBioCatEchem.

ALZHEIMER DISEASE: NANOELECTROCHEMISTRY REVEALS HOW SOLUBLE Aβ42 OLIGOMERS ALTER VESICULAR STORAGE AND RELEASE OF GLUTAMATE

Glutamate (Glu) is one of the most important excitatory transmitter in the nervous system. Impairment of its vesicular release due to β-amyloid (Aβ) oligomers liberation in the brain is thought to participate in pathological processes leading to Alzheimer’s disease. However, before this work [1] it was unclear whether soluble Aβ42 oligomers affect intravesicular amounts of Glu or its release in the brain, or both.
Nanoelectrochemical measurements which will be presented used amperometric nanowire Glu biosensors to test single Glu-generating neuronal varicosities. This revealed that soluble Aβ42 oligomers first caused a dramatic increase in vesicular Glu storage and stimulation-induced release, accompanied by a high level of parallel spontaneous exocytosis. This was shown to ultimately result in the depletion of intravesicular Glu content enforcing greatly reduced Glu release.
Molecular biology tools and mouse models of Aβ amyloidosis have further established that the transient hyperexcitation observed during the primary pathological stage was mediated by an altered behavior of VGLUT1 responsible for transporting Glu into synaptic vesicles. Thereafter, an overexpression of Vps10p-tail-interactor-1a, a protein that maintains spontaneous release of neurotransmitters by selective interaction with t-SNAREs, resulted in a depletion of intravesicular Glu content, triggering advanced-stage neuronal malfunction. These findings are expected to open perspectives for remediating Aβ42-induced neuronal hyperactivity and neuronal degeneration in the context of initiation of Alzheimer disease.
