Abstract
Dendrimers are macromolecules with well-defined three-dimensional structures, sizes and surface charges. In this work, four generations of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers were investigated at the micro-interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (μITIES) to understand their electrochemical responses as simple models of ionised macromolecules. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) across a range of aqueous phase pH revealed that all four generations (G0-G3) presented diffusion-controlled ion-transfer from aqueous to organic phase, while the reverse transfers from organic to aqueous phase varied with both pH and the dendrimer generation. The larger dendrimers (G2 and G3) show an adsorption behaviour at pH ≤ 3.5, but show a diffusional response at pH ≥ 6. On the other hand, the smaller dendrimers (G0 and G1) always show a diffusional response and are not impacted by the pH. This indicates that more highly charged dendrimers condense at the interface. The reverse scan of CVs showed that an increased applied potential was required to remove (desorb) these polycations from the interfaces in comparison to smaller, less charged species. Diffusion coefficients (D) were estimated, showing a decrease with increasing generation. Limits of detection for these dendrimers by CV at the μITIES were 0.4, 0.2, 0.7 and 0.5 μM for G0 to G3, respectively, while differential pulse voltammetry lowered the LODs (0.07, 0.05, 0.09 and 0.08 μM, respectively). These study shows that the μITIES provides a simple way to detect and evaluate the electrochemical behaviour of ionised macromolecules, providing a simple illustration of detection mechanism with diffusion or adsorption processes.

Abstract
Amphiphilic peptides, such as Aß amyloids, can adsorb at an interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES). Based on previous work (vide infra), a hydrophilic/hydrophobic interface is used as a simple biomimetic system for studying drug interactions. The ITIES provides a 2D interface to study ion-transfer processes associated with aggregation, as a function of Galvani potential difference. Here, the aggregation/complexation behaviour of Aβ(1-42) is studied in the presence of Cu (II) ions, together with the effect of a multifunctional peptidomimetic inhibitor (P6). Cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry proved to be particularly sensitive to the detection of the complexation and aggregation of Aβ(1-42), enabling estimations of changes in lipophilicity upon binding to Cu (II) and P6. At a 1:1 ratio of Cu (II):Aβ(1-42), fresh samples showed a single DPV (Differential Pulse Voltammetry) peak half wave transfer potential (E1/2) at 0.40 V. Upon increasing the ratio of Cu (II) two-fold, fluctuations were observed in the DPVs, indicating aggregation. The approximate stoichiometry and binding properties of Aβ(1-42) during complexation with Cu (II) were determined by performing a differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) standard addition method, which showed two binding regimes. A pKa of 8.1 was estimated, with a Cu:Aβ1-42 ratio~1:1.7. Studies using molecular dynamics simulations of peptides at the ITIES show that Aβ(1-42) strands interact through the formation of β-sheet stabilised structures. In the absence of copper, binding/unbinding is dynamic, and interactions are relatively weak, leading to the observation of parallel and anti-parallel arrangements of β-sheet stabilised aggregates. In the presence of copper ions, strong binding occurs between a copper ion and histidine residues on two peptides. This provides a convenient geometry for inducing favourable interactions between folded β-sheet structures. Circular Dichroism spectroscopy (CD spectroscopy) was used to support the aggregation behaviour of the Aβ(1-42) peptides following the addition of Cu (II) and P6 to the aqueous phase.

Abstract
Sensing acetylcholine has been predominantly based on enzymatic strategies using acetylcholine esterase and choline oxidase because of its electrochemical inertness. Electrified liquid-liquid interfaces are not limited to oxidation/reduction processes, and can be utilized to detect non-redox molecules which cannot be detected using conventional solid electrodes. In this study, a disposable micropipette tip based liquid-organogel interface, in the presence/absence of calixarene has been developed as a platform for sensing acetylcholine. We also explored a liquid-liquid interface approach for sensing acetylcholine using a pre-pulled glass micropipette. In both approaches, the configuration, i.e., liquid-organogel and liquid-liquid interface-current linearly increases during the backward transfer of acetylcholine. The simple and facilitated ion transfer of acetylcholine across the liquid-organogel exhibited a linear range of 10-50 μM and 1-30 μM with a detection limit of 0.18 μM and 0.23 μM and a sensitivity of 9.52 nA μM-1 and 9.20 nA μM-1, respectively. Whereas, the detection limit of simple and facilitated ion transfer of liquid-liquid interface using pre-pulled glass micropipette was found to be 0.42 μM and 0.13 μM with a sensitivity of 5 × 10-3 nA μM-1 and 3.39 × 10-2 nA μM-1. The results indicate that the liquid-organogel configuration supported on a disposable micropipette tip without any pre-fabrication is highly suitable for electrified soft interface sensing applications.

Abstract
Understanding the interaction of proteins at interfaces, which occurs at or within cell membranes and lipoprotein vesicles, is central to our understanding of protein function. Therefore, new experimental approaches to understand how protein structure is influenced by protein-interface interactions are important. Herein we build on our previous work exploring electrochemistry at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) to investigate changes in protein secondary structure that are modulated by protein-interface interactions. The ITIES provides an experimental framework to drive protein adsorption at an interface, allowing subsequent spectroscopic analysis (e.g., Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) to monitor changes in protein structure. Here, we reveal that the interaction between insulin and the interface destabilizes native insulin secondary structure, promoting formation of α helix secondary structures. These structural alterations result from protein-interface rather than protein-protein interactions at the interface. Although this is an emerging approach, our results provide a foundation highlighting the value of the ITIES as a tool to study protein structure and interactions at interfaces. Such knowledge may be useful to elucidate protein function within biological systems or to aid sensor development.

Abstract
Interactions of a protein with a solid-liquid or a liquid-liquid interface may destabilize its conformation and hence result in a loss of biological activity. We propose here a method for the immobilization of proteins at an electrified liquid-liquid interface. Cytochrome c (Cyt c) is encapsulated in a silica matrix through an electrochemical process at an electrified liquid-liquid interface. Silica condensation is triggered by the interfacial transfer of cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium, at the lower end of the interfacial potential window. Cyt c is then adsorbed on the previously electrodeposited silica layer, when the interfacial potential, Δowϕ, is at the positive end of the potential window. By cycling of the potential window back and forth, silica electrodeposition and Cyt c adsorption occur sequentially as demonstrated by in situ UV-vis absorbance spectroscopy. After collection from the liquid-liquid interface, the Cyt c-silica matrix is characterized ex situ by UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, confocal Raman microscopy, and fluorescence microscopy, showing that the protein maintained its tertiary structure during the encapsulation process. The absence of denaturation is further confirmed in situ by the absence of electrocatalytic activity toward O2 (observed in the case of Cyt c denaturation). This method of protein encapsulation may be used for other proteins (e.g., Fe-S cluster oxidoreductases, copper-containing reductases, pyrroloquinoline quinone-containing enzymes, or flavoproteins) in the development of biphasic bioelectrosynthesis or bioelectrocatalysis applications.

Abstract
This work is focused on the electroanalytical study of a family of five imidazolium-terminated carbosilane dendrimers (from generation G1 to G3) at the polarized liquid-liquid interface formed between water and 1,2-dichloroethane solutions. All dendrimers with permanently and positively charged imidazolium groups located at the periphery within the branched carbosilane core were found to be electrochemically active. Based on the concentration and scan rate dependencies we have concluded that these molecules undergo interfacial ion transfer processes accompanied by interfacial adsorption/desorption rather than the electrochemically induced interfacial formation of the macromolecule-anion (tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)borate) from the organic phase complex. Also, we report several physicochemical and electroanalytical parameters (e.g. diffusion coefficients, LODs, and detection sensitivities) for the studied family of dendrimers. Our work aims to contribute to the understating of the interaction between branched macromolecules and biomimetic interfaces.

Abstract
Trans-interfacial behaviors of multiple ionic species at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) are of importance to biomembrane mimicking, chemical and biosensing, and interfacial molecular catalysis. Utilizing host-guest interaction to facilitate ion transfer is an effective and commonly used method to decrease the Gibbs energy of transfer of a target molecule. Herein, we investigated a facilitated ion transfer (FIT) process of poly(amidoamine)dendrimer (PAMAM, G0-G2) by dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) at the microinterfaces between water and 1,2-dichloroethane (μ-W/DCE). Because of the host-guest interaction between a dendrimer and a ligand, negative shifts of the transfer potentials were observed using cyclic voltammetry or Osteryoung square wave voltammetry. From the FIT behavior of the dendrimer, we revealed that each DB18C6 could selectively coordinate with one amino group. We first evaluated the protonated status of the intermediate state (1:2) exactly under the conditions the dendrimer (G1) transfers across the interface using the electrochemical mass spectrometry (EC-MS)-hyphenated technique, which is much smaller than the protonated status in the water phase (1:8 to 14). Using the same methodology, we also studied the facilitated transfer behaviors of G0 and G2. Based on these results, we put forward the mechanism of the FIT process, which might involve a deprotonating process at the interface for higher-generation dendrimers.

Abstract
The electrochemistry of catalase (CAT) was investigated at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) as a step towards its detection. Electrochemistry at the ITIES offers advantages such as the non-redox detection of biomolecules. The electrochemical behaviour of CAT at the ITIES, in a micro-interface array format, displayed a distinct cyclic voltammogram when the aqueous phase pH was lower than the isoelectric point (pI) of CAT. No voltammetric response was observed when the aqueous phase pH > pI of CAT, indicating that neutral or negatively charged CAT has no capability to facilitate anion transfer from the organic phase. Adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) was assessed for detection of low concentrations at the µITIES array. Application of a positive preconcentration potential for a fixed time enabled interfacial accumulation of CAT as a complex; subsequently, a voltammetric scan to lower potentials desorbed the complex, providing the electroanalytical signal. Assessment of sample matrix effects by examining the electrochemistry of CAT in artificial serum indicated that detection in pH-adjusted samples is feasible. Together, these results demonstrate that CAT is electroactive at the liquid-liquid interface and this may be useful as a strategy to detect and characterize the enzyme in a label-free manner.

Abstract
Protein electrochemistry studies at a polarized interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) indicate that the detection mechanism of a protein at the interface involves a combination of protein-anion complexation and interfacial adsorption processes. A detailed characterization of the protein-facilitated mechanism of ion transfer at the ITIES will allow the development of new label-free biomolecular detection tools. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to describe the mechanism of transfer of the hydrophobic anion tetraphenylborate (TPB-) from a 1,2-dichloroethane (organic) phase to an aqueous phase mediated by lysozyme as a model protein under the action of an external electric field. The anion migrated to the protein at the interface and formed multiple contacts. The side chains of positively charged Lys and Arg residues formed electrostatic interactions with the anion. Nonpolar residues like Trp, Met, and Val formed hydrophobic contacts with the anion as it moved along the protein surface. During this process, lysozyme adopted multiple, partially unfolded conformations at the interface, all involving various anion-protein complexes with small free-energy barriers between them. The general mechanism of protein-facilitated ion transfer at a polarized liquid-liquid interface thus likely involves the movement of a hydrophobic anion along the protein surface through a combination of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions.

Abstract
The electroadsorption of proteins at aqueous-organic interfaces offers the possibility to examine protein structural rearrangements upon interaction with lipophilic phases, without modifying the bulk protein or relying on a solid support. The aqueous-organic interface has already provided a simple means of electrochemical protein detection, often involving adsorption and ion complexation; however, little is yet known about the protein structure at these electrified interfaces. This work focuses on the interaction between proteins and an electrified aqueous-organic interface via controlled protein electroadsorption. Four proteins known to be electroactive at such interfaces were studied: lysozyme, myoglobin, cytochrome c, and hemoglobin. Following controlled protein electroadsorption onto the interface, ex situ structural characterization of the proteins by FTIR spectroscopy was undertaken, focusing on secondary structural traits within the amide I band. The structural variations observed included unfolding to form aggregated antiparallel β-sheets, where the rearrangement was specifically dependent on the interaction with the organic phase. This was supported by MALDI ToF MS measurements, which showed the formation of protein-anion complexes for three of these proteins, and molecular dynamic simulations, which modeled the structure of lysozyme at an aqueous-organic interface. On the basis of these findings, the modulation of protein secondary structure by interfacial electrochemistry opens up unique prospects to selectively modify proteins.

Abstract
The electrochemical behavior of a synthetic oligonucleotide, thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA, 15-mer), was explored at a liquid-organogel microinterface array. TBA did not display any response when only background electrolytes were present in both phases. On the basis of literature reports that surfactants can influence nucleic acid detection, the response in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium (CTA+) was examined. With both TBA and CTA+ in the aqueous phase, the transfer current for CTA+ was diminished, signifying the interaction of CTA+ with TBA. Experiments with CTA+ spiked into the organic phase revealed a sharp current peak, consistent with the interfacial formation of a CTA+-TBA complex. However, use of CTA+ as the organic phase electrolyte cation, as the salt with tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)borate, greatly improved the response to TBA. In this case, a distinctive peak response (at ca. -0.25 V) was attributed to the transfer of CTA+ across the soft interface to complex with aqueous phase TBA. Employing this process as a detection step enabled a detection limit of 0.11 μM TBA (by cyclic voltammetry). Furthermore, the presence of magnesium cations at physiological concentration resulted in the disappearance of the TBA response because of Mg2+-induced folding of TBA. Also, the current response of TBA was decreased by the addition of thrombin, indicating TBA interacted with this binding partner. Finally, the interfacial surfactant-aptamer interaction was explored in a synthetic urine matrix that afforded a detection limit of 0.29 μM TBA. These results suggest that aptamer-binding interactions can be monitored by electrochemistry at aqueous-organic interfaces and open up a new possibility for detection in aptamer-binding assays.

Abstract
A portable amperometric ion sensor was fabricated by integrating silica isoporous membrane (SIM) and organogel composed of polyvinyl chloride and 1,2-dichloroethane (PVC-DCE) on a 3D-printed polymer chip. The detection of ionic species in aqueous samples could be accomplished by adding a microliter of sample droplet to the sensor and by identifying the ion-transfer potential and current magnitude at the water/organogel interface array templated by SIM. Thanks to the ultrasmall channel size (2-3 nm in diameter), high channel density (4 × 108 μm-2), and ultrathin thickness (80 nm) of SIM, the ensemble of nanoscopic water/organogel (nano-W/Gel) interface array behaved like a microinterface with two back-to-back hemispherical mass diffusion zones. So, the heterogeneous ion-transfer across the nano-W/Gel interface array generated a steady-state sigmoidal current wave. The detection of choline (Ch) and its derivatives, including acetylcholine (ACh), benzoylcholine (BCh), and atropine (AP), in aqueous samples was examined with this portable sensor. Using differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPSV), the quantification of these analytes was achieved with a limit of detection (LOD) down to 1 μM. Moreover, the portable ion sensor was insensitive to various potential interferents that might coexist in vivo, owing to size-/charge-based selectivity and antifouling capacity of SIM. With this priority, the portable ion sensor was able to quantitatively determine Ch and its derivatives in diluted urine and blood samples. The LODs for Ch, ACh, AP, and BCh in urine were 1.12, 1.30, 1.08, and 0.99 μM, and those for blood samples were 3.61, 3.38, 2.32, and 1.81 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Electrochemistry at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) has become an invaluable tool for the selective and sensitive detection of cationic and anionic species, including charged drug molecules and proteins. In addition, neutral molecules can also be detected at the ITIES via enzymatic reactions. This chapter highlights recent developments towards creating a wide spectrum of sensing platforms involving ion transfer across the ITIES. As well as outlining the basic principles needed for performing these sensing applications, the development of ITIES-based detection strategies for inorganic, organic, and biological ions is discussed.

Abstract
Protein charge is an important parameter in the understanding of protein interactions and function. Proteins are subject to dynamic charge regulation, that is, the influence of the local environment (such as charged interfaces and biopolymers) on protein charge. Charge regulation is governed by differences in the dielectric and electrostatic environment between adsorbed protein and the free protein in bulk solution. In this work protein charge regulation is addressed experimentally by employing electrochemistry at interfaces between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) as well as theoretically by developing a new protein adsorption model at ITIES. Electrochemistry at ITIES is shown to be particularly well suited to study protein charge regulation as the adsorbed protein experiences a different dielectric environment compared to the bulk phase and the external control of the water/oil potential difference allows systematic studies on how potential induced ion gradients affect protein charge. The theoretical model incorporates all the features of the experimental system and specifically takes into account protein charge regulation at ITIES as well as the impact of the formation of dielectric layers on the experimentally observed impedance. The model parameters include the protein charge-pH profile, bulk pH, and the overall potential difference. It is shown that the formation of a dielectric layer and the associated charge regulation are the main factors dictating the observed experimental behavior. Finally, the theoretical model is used to interpret literature results, and the consistency between the model and the relatively large data set suggests that the model may be used more generally for understanding and predicting protein adsorption.
