چکیده

The redox protein and enzyme, such as hemoglobin (Hb), horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and glucose oxidase (GOx), was immobilized on the surface of the carbon nanotube modified glassy carbon (CNT/GC) electrode, respectively. The cyclic voltammetric results indicated that the redox protein and enzyme underwent effective and stable direct electron transfer reaction with a pair of nearly symmetrical redox peaks. The formal redox potential, E’, was almost independent on the scan rates, the average value of E’ for Hb, HRP and GOx was –0.343 ± 0.001, –0.319 ± 0.002 and –0.456 ± 0.0008 V (vs. SCE,pH 6.9), respectively. The dependence of E’ on the pH solution indicated that the direct electron transfer of Hb and HRP was a one-electron-transfer reaction process coupled with oneproton-transfer, while the GOx was a two-electron-transfer coupled with two-protontransfer. The apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (ks) was 1.25 ± 0.25, 2.07 ± 0.69 and 1.74 ± 0.42 s for Hb, HRP and GOx, respectively. The method presented here can be easily extended to immobilize other redox enzymes or proteins and obtain their direct electrochemistry.

A glucose biosensor based on direct electrochemistry of glucose oxidase immobilized on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes.

A novel biosensor for glucose was prepared by immobilizing glucose oxidase (GOx) on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (CNx-MWNTs) modified electrode. The CNx-MWNTs membrane showed an excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of O(2) due to its diatomic side-on adsorption on CNx-MWNTs. The nitrogen doping accelerated the electron transfer from electrode surface to the immobilized GO...
