Abstract

Abstract The present invention provides for electrode assemblies and methods in which electron transfer between a redox reaction product and an electrically conductive electrode material is facilitated by a metallo macrocyclic compound, preferably a metallo isoindole ringed compound and more preferably a ferro isoindole ringed compound. The redox reaction is usually catalysized by a redox enzyme, such as an oxidase.
