Diverse Stories of Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry is a powerful area of analytical chemistry with plenty of opportunities for new discoveries. Using proteins and peptides, we demonstrated that fundamental biomolecular interactions and transformations can be monitored and targeted. The electrochemical sensors were developed for detection of various analytes related to health, forensic and environmental applications. Even bond making and breaking through electrosynthesis has been achieved as an alternative to the traditional synthetic methods. Our newest research efforts in electrochemistry will also be described.
