MIMO lipoamide (MIMO@LA): A versatile building block for the construction of synthetic gold-based biomaterials. (a) Strategy for MIMO@LA synthesis (DIEA: diisopropylethylamine; DMF: N,N-dimethylformamide; experimental conditions are reported in Section 3.1). (b) Immobilization of MIMO@LA on gold electrode affords a redox active interface. (c) Conjugation to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) gives a catalytic system for substrate oxidation. The oxidation of the chromogenic substrate 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) to ABTS radical cation (ABTS●+) is reported as an example.
