1.12.2.1 environmental protection enzyme might be useful in development of a mechanism to remove contaminating uranium from groundwaters -, 654261 1.12.2.1 industry platinum (IV) recovery from an industrial effluent through a biosulphidogenic sulphate reducing bacteria consortium via a hydrogenase-cytochrome c3 enzyme system that removes electrons from hydrogen to the platinum metal that acts as a final electron acceptor 701586 1.12.2.1 synthesis adsorption of cytochrome c3 at a pyrolytic graphite electrode is observed in the room-temperature ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide. The electrochemical signal differs however from that obtained in aqueous buffer, and depended on the type of room-temperature ionic liquids. 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, as a hydrophobic non-water-miscible room-temperature ionic liquids, stabilizes the native form of cytochrome c3 and allows an amount of electroactive protein 30fold higher than observed in aqueous buffer. Catalytic oxidation of H2 via [NiFe] hydrogenase mediated by cytochrome c33 fails however, possibly due to inhibition of the hydrogenase in presence of room-temperature ionic liquids -, 724835
