Table 1 Standard redox potential of mediators (Eo) versus SHE7 and the mean magnitude of the steady state oxidation current (iss) obtained from LSVs at 425 mV vs Ag/AgCl of double mediator solutions incubated with cells. Log P values for NR SFN, GC, MD, DCIP, BQ, MR are for octanol/water. The log P value for N,N,N′,N′-TMPD is for hexane/water. Log P values were calculated using ChemDraw (http://www.cambridgesoft.com)

  1. *N,N,N′,N′-TMPD is a 2 electron transfer process but in this application it acts as a 1 electron transfer reduction because the second reduction step is irreversible[18].
