摘要

A highly sensitive electrochemical glucose sensor has been developed by the co-immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) onto a gold electrode modified with biocompatible cyclic bisureas-gold nanoparticle conjugate (CBU-AuNP). A self-assembled monolayer of mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) and CBU-AuNP was formed on the gold electrode through a layer-by-layer assembly. This modified electrode was used for immobilization of the enzymes GOx and HRP. Both the HRP and GOx retained their catalytic activity for an extended time, as indicated by the low value of Michaelis-Menten constant. Analytical performance of the sensor was examined in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, reproducibility, lower detection limit, and stability. The developed sensor surface exhibited a limit of detection of 100nM with a linear range of 100nM to 1mM. A high sensitivity of 217.5μAmM(-1)cm(-2) at a low potential of -0.3V was obtained in this sensor design. Various kinetic parameters were calculated. The sensor was examined for its practical clinical application by estimating glucose in human blood sample. Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
