Electrochemical mediators transfer redox equivalents between the active sites of enzymes and electrodes and, in this way, initiate bioelectrocatalytic redox processes. This has been very useful in the development of the so-called second-generation biosensors, in which they transduce a catalyzed reaction into an electrical signal. Among other pre-requisites, redox mediators must be readily oxidized and/or reduced at the electrode surface and readily interact with the biorecognition component. Small chemical compounds (e. g. ferrocene derivatives, ruthenium, or osmium complexes and viologens) are frequently used for this purpose but, lately, small redox proteins (e. g. horse heart cytochrome c) have also been used as redox partners in biosensing applications. In general, docking between two complementary proteins introduces a second level of selectivity to the biosensor and enlarges the list of compounds analyzed. Moreover, electrochemical interferences are frequently minimized owing to the small overpotentials achieved. This paper provides an overview of enzyme biosensors that are mediated by electron-transfer proteins. The paper begins with a brief discussion of mediated electro-chemistry in biosensing systems and proceeds with a detailed description of relevant work on the cooperative use of redox enzymes and biological electron donors and/or acceptors.
