There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Utilization of Enzyme Cascades for Biofuel Cells: From Metabolism to Metabolons
Cherry Emerson Lecture
Enzymes have been employed for almost 4 decades for energy conversion in the form of biofuel cells. However, most enzymatic biofuel cells in the literature utilize complex biofuels, but only partially oxidize the complex biofuel via the use of a single enzyme (i.e. glucose oxidase). This presentation will detail the use of enzyme cascades at bioanodes for deep to complete oxidation of fuels to improve performance. It will also compare fuel options for biofuel cells and discuss the importance of structural orientation of enzymes in enzymatic cascades.
