Abstract Pterins are widespread in biological systems and possess photosensitizing activities. In the present study, the photosensitization mechanism of acid form of pterin (PTA) and basic form of pterin (PTB) is investigated by means of density functional theory calculations. The reactive oxygen species-photogenerating pathways of the lowest triplet excited (T1) state PTA and PTB are proposed as follows. Through direct energy transfer, both T1 state PTA and PTB can photogenerate 1O2. Two possible O2 .−-generating pathways are proposed according to the electronic parameters of PTA and PTB: i) direct electron transfer from T1 state PTA and PTB to 3O2 and the electron transfer reaction is more favorable energetically for PTB in comparison with PTA; and ii) electron transfer from anion radical of PTA and PTB to 3O2.

We unveil experimental evidence that put into question the widely held notion concerning the impact of nanoparticles on the bioelectrocatalytic parameters of enzymatic electrodes. Comparative studies of the bioelectrocatalytic properties of fungal bilirubin oxidase from Myrothecium verrucaria adsorbed on gold electrodes, modified with gold nanoparticles of different diameters, clearly indicate that neither the direct electron transfer rate (standard heterogeneous electron transfer rate constants were calculated to be 319 s -1) nor the biocatalytic activity of the adsorbed enzyme (bioelectrocatalytic constants were calculated to be 3411 s -1) depends on the size of the nanoparticles, which had diameters close to or larger than those of the enzyme molecules.
