Electrochemical behavior of nitrate reductase immobilized in self-assembled structures with redox polyviologen

We report on a novel bioelectrode based on self-assembled multilayers of nitrate reductase (NR) intercalated with a cationic viologen-functionalized polyvinylpyridinium (PV) polymer specially synthesized for this purpose. Different samples of polymer proved to have varying substitution ratios, accor...
