The characterization and bioelectrocatalytic properties of hemoglobin by direct electrochemistry of DDAB film modified electrodes

Direct electrochemistry of hemoglobin can be performed in acidic and basic aqueous solutions in the pH range 1-13, using stable, electrochemically active films deposited on a didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) modified glassy carbon electrode. Films can also be produced on gold, platinum, and transparent semiconductor tin oxide electrodes. Hemoglobin/DDAB films exhibit one, two, and three redox couples when transferred to strong acidic, weak acidic and weak basic, and strong basic aqueous solutions, respectively. These redox couples, and their formal potentials, were found to be pH dependent. An electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance and cyclic voltammetry were used to study the in situ deposition of DDAB on gold disc electrodes and hemoglobin deposition on DDAB film modified electrodes. A hemoglobin/DDAB/GC modified electrode is electrocatalytically reduction active for oxygen and H₂O₂, and electrocatalytically oxidation active for S₂O₄²⁻ through the Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couple. In the electrocatalytic reduction of S₄O₆²⁻, S₂O₄²⁻, and SO₃²⁻, and the dithio compounds of 2,2′-dithiosalicylic acid and 1,2-dithiolane-3-pentanoic acid, the electrocatalytic current develops from the cathodic peak of the redox couple at a potential of about −0.9 V (from the Fe(II)/Fe(I) redox couple) in neutral and weakly basic aqueous solutions. Hemoglobin/DDAB/GC modified electrodes are electrocatalytically reduction active for trichloroacetic acid in strong acidic buffered aqueous solutions through the Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couple. However, the electrocatalytic current developed from the cathodic peak of the redox couple at a potential of about −0.9 V (from the Fe(II)/Fe(I) redox couple) in weak acidic and basic aqueous solutions. The electrocatalytic properties were investigated using the rotating ring-disk electrode method.     

Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of hemoglobin immobilized in poly(ethylene glycol) grafted multi-walled carbon nanotubes

The novel poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) grafted multi-walled carbon nanotubes (PEG-g-MWCNTs) were synthesized by the covalent functionalization of MWCNTs with hydroxyl-terminated PEG chains, exhibited excellent hydrophilicity and biocompatibility. The PEG-g-MWCNTs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra, transmission electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis, which verified that PEG chains were grafted onto the surface of the MWCNTs. The PEG-g-MWCNTs were then used as substrates for the immobilization of hemoglobin (Hb) and their bioelectrochemical behaviors were studied. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to confirm the adsorption of Hb onto the surface of PEG-g-MWCNTs. The Hb immobilized in PEG-g-MWCNTs retained its near-native conformations as characterized by the UV-vis spectroscopy. The cyclic voltammetry results of Hb/PEG-g-MWCNT modified electrode showed a pair of well-defined and quasi reversible redox peaks centered at approximate −0.34 V (vs. saturated calomel electrode), which was the characteristic peaks of Hb Fe(III)/Fe(II), in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution. Hb immobilized onto the surface of PEG-g-MWCNTs demonstrated good bioelectrocatalytic activities for the reduction of nitrite.     

Layered double hydroxides functionalized with anionic surfactant: Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of hemoglobin

Direct electrochemistry of hemoglobin (Hb), which was immobilized on the glass carbon electrode (GCE) modified with Zn-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) functionalized with sodium dodecylsulfonate (SDS), was investigated. The resulting electrode (Hb/LDH-SDS/GCE) gave a well-defined redox couple for HbFe(III)/Fe(II) with a formal potential of about −0.34 V (vs. AgCl/Ag) in pH 7.0 buffer. The electron-transfer rate constant was estimated to be 2.6 s⁻¹. The Hb/LDH-SDS/GCE exhibited a remarkable electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). The low calculated apparent Michaelis-Menten constant () was 456 μM. Based on the high catalytic activity of Hb immobilized on LDH-SDS modified electrode to the reduction of H₂O₂, LDH functionalized with SDS is expected to have widely potential applications for development of new biosensors and biocatalysis.     

Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of horseradish peroxidase based on halloysite nanotubes/chitosan nanocomposite film

The novel halloysite nanotubes/chitosan (HNTs/Chi) composite films were firstly explored to utilize for the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and their bioelectrochemical properties were studied, in which the biopolymer chitosan was used as a binder to increase film adherence on glassy carbon (GC) electrode. UV-vis and FTIR spectroscopy demonstrated that HRP in the composite film could retain its native secondary structure. A pair of well-defined redox peaks of HRP was obtained at the HRP/HNTs/Chi composite film-modified electrode, exhibiting its fast direct electron transfer (DET). Furthermore, the immobilized HRP displayed its good electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). The results demonstrate that the HNTs/Chi composite film may improve the enzyme loading with the retention of bioactivity and greatly promote the direct electron transfer, which can be attributed to its unique tubular structure, high specific surface area, and good biocompatibility.     

Direct electrochemistry of hemoglobin in biomembrane-like DHP-PDDA polyion-surfactant composite films

Hb-DHP-PDDA films were assembled by incorporating hemoglobin (Hb) into polyion-surfactant DHP-PDDA composite films on pyrolytic graphite (PG) electrodes, where DHP is an anionic surfactant dihexa decylphosphate, and PDDA is a polycation poly(diallyldimethylammonium). Cyclic voltammetry of Hb-DHP-PDDA films showed a pair of stable and reversible peaks for Hb Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couple at about −0.34 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE) in pH 7.0 buffers. The electron transfer rate between Hb and PG electrodes was greatly facilitated in microenvironment of the films. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) suggest that in both DHP-PDDA and Hb-DHP-PDDA films, DHP is self-assembled into an ordered bilayer structure which is sandwiched by PDDA backbone layers. Positions of Soret absorption band indicate that Hb keeps its secondary structure similar to its native state in the films in the medium pH range. Hb could act as an enzymatic catalyst in DHP-PDDA films to catalyze reduction of oxygen, trichloroacetic acid, and nitrite with significant decrease of overpotential.     

Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of hemoglobin in lactobionic acid film

Hemoglobin (Hb) embedded in lactobionic acid (LA) film can give a pair of stable, well‐defined, and quasi‐reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks, located at the potential characteristic of the heme Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couple. The formal potential of the protein in LA film was ?209 mV. The apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant and the number of protons concomitant per electron during the electron transfer process have been calculated. Hydrogen peroxide could also be catalytically reduced by the protein in LA film. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry     

Direct electrochemistry and biocatalytic activity of hemoglobin entrapped into gellan gum and room temperature ionic liquid composite system

A new composite film of microbial exocellular polysaccharide-gellan gum (GG) and room temperature ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMIMPF₆) was firstly used as an immobilization matrix to entrap proteins and its bioelectrochemical properties were studied. Hemoglobin (Hb) was chosen as a model protein to investigate the composite system. UV-vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to characterize the composite film. The obtained results demonstrated that the Hb molecule in the film kept its native structure and showed its good electrochemical behavior. A pair of well-defined, quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks appeared in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solutions (PBS, 0.1 M), with the formal potential (E°′) of −0.368 V (vs. SCE), which was the characteristic of Hb Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couples. The Hb-IL-GG-modified electrode also showed an excellent electrocatalytic behavior to the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). Therefore, this kind of composite film as a novel substrate offers an efficient strategy and a new promising platform for further study on the direct electrochemistry of redox proteins and the development of the third-generation electrochemical biosensors.     

The bioelectrocatalytic properties of cytochrome C by direct electrochemistry on DNA film modified electrode

The direct electrochemistry of cytochrome C can be performed in weak acidic and basic aqueous solutions. Cytochrome C can be deposited as a stable and electrochemically active film on a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) modified glassy carbon electrode. These films can also be produced on gold, platinum, and transparent semiconducting tin oxide electrodes. Two-layer modified electrodes containing cytochrome C and a DNA film were prepared by the deposition of cytochrome C on a DNA film modified electrode. The cytochrome C/DNA film was electrocatalytically oxidation active for l-cysteine in a pH 8.3 tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TRIS)-buffered aqueous solution through both Fe^III and Fe^IV species. The electrocatalytic oxidation current developed from the anodic peak of the redox couple. The electrocatalytic oxidation properties of ascorbic acid, NH₂OH, N₂H₄, and SO₃²⁻ by a cytochrome C/DNA film were also determined, and shown to be electrocatalytically active. An electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance, cyclic voltammetry, and direct spectroelectrochemistry were used to study in situ DNA deposition on a gold disc electrode and cytochrome C deposition on DNA/Au and DNA/GC films. The direct electrochemistry of cytochrome C can also be performed, and it can be deposited as a stable and electrochemically active film on polyvinyl sulfonate, polystyrene sulfonate, TiO₂, and polyethylene glycol modified glassy carbon electrodes. The results show that cytochrome C interacts with, and deposits on, a DNA film modified electrode, and that the cytochrome C (Fe^III) oxidized form is more easily deposited on a DNA film than the cytochrome C (Fe^II) reduced form.     

Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of hemoglobin with carbon nanotube-ionic liquid-chitosan composite materials modified carbon ionic liquid electrode

A novel composite biomaterial was prepared by combining chitosan, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), hemoglobin (Hb) and ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bromide together, which was further modified on the surface of a carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) with another ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulphate as the binder. Ultraviolet-visible and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic results indicated that Hb molecules in the composite film retained the native structure. Cyclic voltammetric results showed that a pair of well-defined redox peaks appeared in 0.1 mol/L phosphate buffer solution, indicating that the direct electron transfer of Hb in the composite film with the underlying electrode was realized. The results were attributed to the synergistic effect of MWCNTs and IL in the composite film, which promoted the electron transfer rate of Hb. The composite material modified electrode showed excellent electrocatalytic ability towards the reduction of different substrates such as trichloroacetic acid and NaNO₂ with good stability and reproducibility.     

Magnetite–graphene for the direct electrochemistry of hemoglobin and its biosensing application

Magnetite–graphene (Fe₃O₄–GE) was prepared via a simple effective chemical precipitation method, followed by the chemical reduction with hydrazine. Fe₃O₄–GE was characterized by Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope, X-ray powder diffraction and electrochemical methods. A hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) biosensor was structured by immobilizing hemoglobin (Hb) into Fe₃O₄–GE for the first time. UV–vis and Fourier transform infrared spectra were employed to characterize Hb retained original structure in the resulting Hb–Fe₃O₄–GE membrane. Electrochemical investigation of the biosensor showed a pair of well-defined, quasi-reversible redox peaks with E_pa = −0.285 V and E_pc = −0.363 V (vs. SCE) in phosphate buffer solution (0.1 mol/L, pH 7.0) at the scan rate of 100 mV/s. The Hb–Fe₃O₄–GE showed a better synergistic electrochemical effect for the reduced process of H₂O₂. The biosensor displayed a fast response time (<3 s) and broad linear response to H₂O₂ in the range from 1.50 to 585 μmol/L with a relatively low detection limit of 0.5 μmol/L (S/N = 3). Moreover, the biosensor could be applied in practical analysis and exhibit good reproducibility and long-term stability.     

Electrocatalytic reduction of nitric oxide and other substrates on hydrogel triblock copolymer Pluronic films containing hemoglobin or myoglobin based on protein direct electrochemistry

Protein-Pluronic film modified electrodes were constructed by casting the mixture of hemoglobin (Hb) or myoglobin (Mb) and triblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)₁₀₀-poly(propylene oxide)₆₅-poly(ethylene oxide)₁₀₀ (Pluronic) solutions onto the surface of pyrolytic graphite (PG) electrodes. A pair of well-defined and nearly reversible CV peaks at about −0.35 V versus SCE in pH 7.0 buffers was observed for protein-Pluronic films, characteristic of the protein heme Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couples. The films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis and IR spectroscopy, as well as electrochemistry. The heme proteins were quite stable and retained their near-native structure in Pluronic films. Oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, nitrite and nitric oxide were electrochemically catalyzed by protein-Pluronic films with significant lowering of reduction overpotential. Both nitrite and hydrogen peroxide underwent dismutation in electrocatalysis. The reduction of NO₂⁻ and H₂O₂ on protein-Pluronic films was actually the catalytic reduction of their disproportionation products, NO and O₂, respectively. The biocatalytic mechanism of these substrates at protein-Pluronic film electrodes were discussed and speculated.     

Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of heme-proteins immobilized in porous carbon nanofiber/room-temperature ionic liquid composite film

The combination of porous carbon nanofiber (PCNF) and room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) provided a suitable microenvironment for heme-proteins to transfer electron directly. Hemoglobin, myoglobin, and cytochrome c incorporated in PCNF/RTIL films exhibited a pair of well-defined, quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks at about −0.28 V vs. SCE in pH 7.0 buffers, respectively, characteristic of the protein heme Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couples. The cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to characterize the modified electrode. The heme/PCNF/RTIL/CHIT films were also characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, indicating that heme-proteins in the composite film could retain its native structure. Oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, and nitrite were catalytically reduced at the heme/PCNF/RTIL/CHIT film modified electrodes, showing the potential applicability of the films as the new type of biosensors or bioreactors based on direct electrochemistry of the redox proteins.     

Clay-chitosan-gold nanoparticle nanohybrid: Preparation and application for assembly and direct electrochemistry of myoglobin

A biocompatible nanohybrid material (clay/AuCS) based on clay, chitosan and gold nanoparticles was explored. The material could provide a favorable microenvironment for proteins to realize the direct electron transfer on glassy carbon electrodes (GCE). Myoglobin (Mb), as a model protein to investigate the nanohybrid, was immobilized between the clay/AuCS film and another clay layer. Mb in the system exhibited a pair of well-defined and quasi-reversible redox peaks at −0.160 V (vs. saturated Ag/AgCl electrode) in 0.1 M PBS (pH 7.0), corresponding to its heme Fe^III/Fe^II redox couples. UV-vis spectrum suggested that Mb retained its native conformation in the system. Basal plane spacing of clay obtained by X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that there was an intercalation-exfoliation-restacking process among Mb, AuCS and clay during the modified film drying. Excellent biocatalytic activity of Mb in the modified system was exemplified by the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and nitrite. The linear range of H₂O₂ determination was from 3.9 × 10⁻⁵ to 3.0 × 10⁻³ M with a detection limit of 7.5 μM based on the signal to noise ratio of 3. The kinetic parameters such as α (charge transfer coefficient), k_s (electron transfer rate constant) and K_m (Michaelis-Menten constant) were evaluated to be 0.55, 2.66 ± 0.15 s⁻¹ and 5.10 mM, respectively.     

Horseradish peroxidase immobilized in TiO2 nanoparticle films on pyrolytic graphite electrodes: direct electrochemistry and bioelectrocatalysis

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-TiO₂ film electrodes were fabricated by casting the mixture of HRP solution and aqueous titania nanoparticle dispersion onto pyrolytic graphite (PG) electrodes and letting the solvent evaporate. The HRP incorporated in TiO₂ films exhibited a pair of well-defined and quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks at about −0.35 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE) in pH 7.0 buffers, characteristic of HRP-Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couple. The electron exchange between the enzyme and PG electrodes was greatly enhanced in the TiO₂ nanoparticle film microenvironment. The electrochemical parameters such as apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (k_s) and formal potential (E°′) were estimated by fitting the data of square wave voltammetry with nonlinear regression analysis. The HRP-TiO₂ film electrodes were quite stable and amenable to long-time voltammetric experiments. The UV-Vis spectroscopy showed that the position and shape of Soret absorption band of HRP in TiO₂ films kept nearly unchanged and were different from those of hemin or hemin-TiO₂ films, suggesting that HRP retains its native-like tertiary structure in TiO₂ films. The electrocatalytic activity of HRP embedded in TiO₂ films toward O₂ and H₂O₂ was studied. Possible mechanism of catalytic reduction of H₂O₂ with HRP-TiO₂ films was discussed. The HRP-TiO₂ films may have a potential perspective in fabricating the third-generation biosensors based on direct electrochemistry of enzymes.     

Immobilization of horseradish peroxidase on self-assembled (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane film: Characterization, direct electrochemistry, redox thermodynamics and biosensing

Highly organized (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (3-MPT) films have been prepared via self-assembled coupled with sol–gel linking technology. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is successfully immobilized onto the densely packed three-dimensional (3D) 3-MPT network and the direct electrochemistry of HRP is achieved without any electron mediators or promoters. Redox thermodynamics of HRP on the 3-MPT films, which is obtained from the temperature dependence of the reduction potential, suggests that the positive shift of redox potentials of HRP at the interface of 3-MPT originates from the solvent reorganization effects and conformational change of the polypeptide chain of HRP. Based on the direct electrochemistry and electrocatalytic ability of HRP, a sensitive third-generation amperometric H₂O₂ biosensor is developed with two linear dependence ranges of 5.0 × 10⁻⁷ to 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ and 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ to 2.0 × 10⁻² mol L⁻¹.     

Colloidal silver nanoparticles modified electrode and its application to the electroanalysis of Cytochrome c

A colloidal silver nanoparticles (CSNs) chemically modified electrode was prepared and its application to the electroanalysis of Cytochrome c (Cyt. c) was studied. The CSNs were prepared by reduction of AgNO₃ with NaBH₄, and were stabilized by oleate. They could be efficiently immobilized on the surface of a silver electrode. The result showed that the CSNs could clearly enhance the electron transfer process between Cyt. c and the electrode compared with bulk silver electrode. Linear sweep voltammetric measurement of Cyt. c at the chemical modified electrode indicated that the oxidative peak current of Cyt. c was linear to its concentration ranging from 8.0 nmol L⁻¹ to 3.0 μmol L⁻¹ with the calculated detection limit was about 2.6 nmol L⁻¹. The direct electrochemistry of Cyt. c was also studied by cyclic voltammetry.     

A novel platform of hemoglobin on core–shell structurally Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles and its direct electrochemistry

A novel platform, which hemoglobin (Hb) was immobilized on core–shell structurally Fe₃O₄/Au nanoparticles (simplified as Fe₃O₄@Au NPs) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), has been developed for fabricating the third biosensors. Fe₃O₄@Au NPs, characterized using transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectra (EDS), were coated onto GCE mediated by chitosan so as to provide larger surface area for anchoring Hb. The thermodynamics, dynamics and catalysis properties of Hb immobilized on Fe₃O₄@Au NPs were discussed by UV–visible spectrum (UV–vis), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance technique (EQCM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The electrochemical parameters of Hb on Fe₃O₄@Au NPs modified GCE were further carefully calculated with the results of the effective working area as 3.61 cm², the surface coverage concentration (Γ) as 1.07 × 10⁻¹² mol cm⁻², the electron-transfer rate constant (K_s) as 1.03 s⁻¹, the number of electron transferred (n) as 1.20 and the standard entropy of the immobilized Hb (ΔS⁰′) as calculated to be −104.1 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹. The electrocatalytic behaviors of the immobilized Hb on Fe₃O₄@Au NPs were applied for the determination of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), oxygen (O₂) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA). The possible functions of Fe₃O₄ core and Au shell as a novel platform for achieving Hb direct electrochemistry were discussed, respectively.     

Direct electron transfer of hemoglobin in a CdS nanorods and Nafion composite film on carbon ionic liquid electrode

In this paper the direct electron transfer of hemoglobin (Hb) was carefully investigated by using a room temperature ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMIMPF₆) modified carbon paste electrode (CILE) as the basal working electrode. Hb was immobilized on the surface of CILE with the nanocomposite film composed of Nafion and CdS nanorods by a step-by-step method. UV–vis and FT-IR spectra showed that Hb in the composite film remained its native structure. The direct electrochemical behaviors of Hb in the composite film were further studied in a pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution (PBS). A pair of well-defined and quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks of Hb was obtained with the formal potential (E⁰′) at −0.295 V (vs. SCE), which was the characteristic of heme Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couples. The direct electrochemistry of Hb was achieved on the modified electrode and the apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (k_s) was calculated to be 0.291 s⁻¹. The formal potentials of Hb Fe(III)/Fe(II) couple shifted negatively with the increase of buffer pH and a slope value of −45.1 mV/pH was got, which indicated that one electron transfer accompanied with one proton transportation. The fabricated Hb sensor showed good electrocatalytic manner to the reduction of trichloroacetic acid (TCA).     

Hemoglobin immobilized on whisker-like carbon composites and its direct electrochemistry

We developed a novel mesoporous carbon/whisker-like carbon (MCWC) composite which can promote the direct electron transfer of hemoglobin (Hb) immobilized on its surface. The cyclic voltammetric results showed that Hb immobilized on the surface of the MCWC composite could undergo a direct quasi-reversible electrochemical reaction. Its formal redox potential, E^0′ is −0.313 V in the phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.9) at a scan rate of 200 mV/s and is almost independent of the scan rate in the range of 100-600 mV/s. The dependence of E^0′ on the pH of phosphate buffer solution indicated that the redox reaction of Hb includes a one-electron-transfer reaction process coupled with one-proton-transfer. The experiment obtained larger value of electron transfer rate constant, k_s, than that of Hb immobilized on other carriers reported previously due to its special structure of loosely packed nanometer-scale carbon whiskers and thus formed “V-type” nano-pores. Furthermore, Hb immobilized on the surface of the MCWC composite can retain the stable bioelectrocatalytic activity for the reduction of H₂O₂.     

Direct electrochemistry of catalase at amine-functionalized graphene/gold nanoparticles composite film for hydrogen peroxide sensor

Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of catalase (Cat) was studied based on a nano-composite film consisting of amine functionalized graphene and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified glassy carbon electrode. Graphene was synthesized chemically by Hummers and Offeman method and then was functionalized with amino groups via chemical modification of carboxyl groups introduced on the graphene surface. The nano-composite film showed an obvious promotion of the direct electron transfer between Cat and the underlying electrode, which attributed to the synergistic effect of graphene-NH₂ and AuNPs. The resultant bioelectrode retained its biocatalytic activity and offered fast and sensitive H₂O₂ quantification. Under the optimized experimental conditions, hydrogen peroxide was detected in the concentration range from 0.3 to 600 μM with a detection limit of 50 nM at S/N = 3. The biosensor exhibited some advantages, such as short time respond (2 s), high sensitivity (13.4 μA/mM) and good reproducibility (RSD = 5.8%).
