13. We refer to it as a quasi steady state condition because of the continuing degradation of ABTS - vide infra.

20. There apparently are effects on the kinetics of ion and/or substrate transport, because after a potential jump or gas switching the time to reach quasi steady state conditions increases in the silica coated electrodes, but we have not explored these effects in detail.
21. The hypothetical range in turnover rate depends on the volume of ABTS solution as follows. If all the ABTS is leached then the effective concentration is approximately 1 μmol/50 ml = 20 μM. If all the ABTS is retained within the carbon paper volume, then the effective concentration is 1 μmol/6 μl = 80 mM.
22. 1./2 = ∼1.3. The larger observed ratio may imply that the steady state is transport limited.
