title: Investigation of a deoxyribozyme as a biofuel cell catalyst.
abstract: We examined the ability of a previously identified peroxidase deoxyribozyme to be employed as a catalyst in biofuel cells, as a possible replacement for oxidoreductase proteins. We constructed a biocathode using a covalently linked version of the peroxidase deoxyribozyme-hemin complex and successfully paired it with a glucose dehydrogenase-modified bioanode for power production.
