Electrochemical Cholesterol Sensor Based on Tin Oxide‐Chitosan Nanobiocomposite Film

A chitosan (CS)‐tin oxide (SnO₂) nanobiocomposite film has been deposited onto an indium‐tin‐oxide glass plate to immobilize cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) for cholesterol detection. The value of the Michaelis–Menten constant (K_m) obtained as 3.8 mM for ChOx/CS‐SnO₂/ITO is lower (8 mM) than that of a ChOx/CS/ITO bioelectrode revealing enhancement in affinity and/or activity of ChOx towards cholesterol and also revealing strong binding of ChOx onto CS‐SnO₂/ITO electrode. This ChOx/CS‐SnO₂/ITO cholesterol sensor retains 95% of enzyme activity after 4–6 weeks at 4 °C with response time of 5 s, sensitivity of 34.7 μA/mg dL^?1 cm² and detection limit of 5 mg/dL.     

Electrochemical Study of Chitosan‐SiO2‐MWNT Composite Electrodes for the Fabrication of Cholesterol Biosensors

We report a novel composite electrode made of chitosan‐SiO₂‐multiwall carbon nanotube (CHIT‐SiO₂‐MWNT) composite coated on the indium‐tin oxide (ITO) glass substrate. Cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) was covalently immobilized on the CHIT‐SiO₂‐MWNT/ITO electrode that resulted in a ChOx/CHIT‐SiO₂‐MWNT/ITO cholesterolactive bioelectrode. The CHIT‐SiO₂‐MWNT/ITO and ChOx/CHIT‐SiO₂‐MWNT/ITO electrodes were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The influence of various parameters was investigated, including the applied potential, pH of the medium, and the concentration of the enzyme on the performance of the biosensor. The cholesterol bioelectrode exhibited a sensitivity of 3.4 nA/ mgdL^?1 with a response time of five seconds. The biosensor using ChOx/CHIT‐SiO₂‐MWNT/ITO as the working electrode retained its original response after being stored for six months. The biosensor using ChOx/CHIT‐SiO₂‐MWNT/ITO as the working electrode showed a linear current response to the cholesterol concentration in the range of 50–650 mg/dL.     

Control of Biocatalytic Transformations by Programmed DNA Assemblies

This study demonstrates the self‐assembly of inhibitor/enzyme‐tethered nucleic acid fragments or enzyme I‐, enzyme II‐modified nucleic acids into functional nanostructures that lead to the controlled inhibition of the enzyme or the activation of an enzyme cascade. In one system, the anti‐cocaine aptamer subunits are modified with monocarboxy methylene blue (MB⁺) as the inhibitor and with choline oxidase (ChOx). The cocaine‐induced self‐assembly of the aptamer subunits complex results in the inhibition of ChOx by MB⁺. In a further configuration, two nucleic acids of limited complementarity are functionalized at their 3′ and 5′ ends with glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP), respectively, or with MB⁺ and ChOx. In the presence of a target DNA sequence, synergistic complementary base‐pairing occurs, thus leading to stable supramolecular Y‐shaped nanostructures of the nucleic acid units. A GOx/HRP bienzyme cascade or the programmed inhibition of ChOx by MB⁺ is demonstrated in the resulting nucleic acid nanostructures. A quantitative theoretical model that describes the nucleic acid assemblies and that results in the inhibition of ChOx by MB⁺ or in the activation of the GOx/HRP cascade, respectively, is provided.     

Silk Mat as Bio-matrix for the Immobilization of Cholesterol Oxidase

Cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) was covalently immobilized onto the woven silk fiber (silk mat) produced by Antheraea assamensis.

The attachment of ChOx to the silk mat was demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy and activity study. The kinetic studies of the immobilized ChOx were performed by using a biological oxygen monitor. The enzyme loading was found to be 0.046 U cm^?2 of silk mat and the enzyme loading efficiency of the silk mat was estimated to be 70%. Remarkably high storage and operational stability (t_1/2 of initial activities) corresponding to 13 months and 25 numbers of assay (for a period of 6 h), respectively, of the fabricated ChOx electrode were demonstrated.     

Covalent immobilization of cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase on polyaniline films for application to cholesterol biosensor

Cholesterol esterase (ChEt) and cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) have been covalently immobilized on electrochemically prepared polyaniline (PANI) films. These PANI/ChEt/ChOx enzyme films have been characterized using UV-visible, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical behavior of these films has been studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and amperometric techniques, respectively. The PANI/ChEt/ChOx enzyme films show broad oxidation peak from 0.2 to 0.5 V. These PANI/ChEt/ChOx biosensing electrodes have a response time of about 40s, linearity from 50 to 500 mg/dl of cholesterol oleate concentration. These PANI/ChEt/ChOx films are thermally stable up to 46 degrees C. This polyaniline based cholesterol biosensor has optimum pH in the range of 6.5-7.5, sensitivity as 7.5x10(-4) nA/mg dl and a lifetime of about 6 weeks.     

Highly Sensitive Choline Oxidase Enzyme Inhibition Biosensor for Lead Ions Based on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Modified Glassy Carbon Electrodes

The determination of lead ions by inhibition of choline oxidase enzyme has been evaluated for the first time using an amperometric choline biosensor. Choline oxidase (ChOx) was immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) through cross‐linking with glutaraldehyde. In the presence of ChOx, choline was enzymatically oxidized into betaine at –0.3 V versus Ag/AgCl reference electrode, lead ion inhibition of enzyme activity causing a decrease in the choline oxidation current. The experimental conditions were optimised regarding applied potential, buffer pH, enzyme and substrate concentration and incubation time. Under the best conditions for measurement of the lowest concentrations of lead ions, the ChOx/MWCNT/GCE gave a linear response from 0.1 to 1.0 nM Pb²⁺ and a detection limit of 0.04 nM. The inhibition of ChOx by lead ions was also studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, but had a narrower linear response range and low sensitivity. The inhibition biosensor exhibited high selectivity towards lead ions and was successfully applied to their determination in tap water samples.     

Amperometric sulfite sensor based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes/ferrocene-branched chitosan composites

A novel amperometric sensor for the determination of sulfite was fabricated based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/ferrocene-branched chitosan (CHIT-Fc) composites-covered glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The electrochemical behavior of the sensor was investigated in detail by cyclic voltammetry. The apparent surface electron transfer rate constant (K_s) and charge transfer coefficient (α) of the CHIT-Fc/MWCNTs/GCE were also determined by cyclic voltammetry, which were about 1.93 cm s⁻¹ and 0.42, respectively. The sensor displayed good electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of sulfite. The peak potential for the oxidation of sulfite was lowered by at least 330 mV compared with that obtained at CHIT/MWCNTs/GCE. In optimal conditions, linear range spans the concentration of sulfite from 5 μM to 1.5 mM and the detection limit was 2.8 μM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The proposed method was used for the determination of sulfite in boiler water. In addition, the sensor has good stability and reproducibility.     

Amperometric Biosensor Based on Enzymatic Reactor for Choline Determination in Flow Systems

A simple, selective and stable biosensor with the enzymatic reactor based on choline oxidase (ChOx) was developed and applied for the determination of choline (Ch) in flow injection analysis with amperometric detection. The enzyme ChOx was covalently immobilized with glutaraldehyde to mesoporous silica powder (SBA‐15) previously covered by NH₂‐groups. This powder was found as an optimal filling of the reactor. The detection of Ch is based on amperometric monitoring of consumed oxygen during the enzymatic reaction, which is directly proportional to Ch concentration. Two arrangements of an electrolytic cell in FIA, namely wall‐jet cell with working silver solid amalgam electrode covered by mercury film and flow‐through cell with tubular detector of polished silver solid amalgam were compared. The experimental parameters affecting the sensitivity and stability of the biosensor (i. e. pH of the carrier solution, volume of reactor, amount of the immobilized enzyme, the detection potential, flow rate, etc.) were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the limit of detection was found to be 9.0×10^?6 mol L^?1. The Michaelis‐Menten constant for covalently immobilized ChOx on SBA‐15 was calculated. The proposed amperometric biosensor with the developed ChOx‐based reactor exhibits good repeatability, reproducibility, long‐term stability, and reusability. Its efficiency has been confirmed by the successful application for the determination of Ch in two commercial pharmaceuticals.     

Amperometric determination of choline with enzyme immobilized in a hybrid mesoporous membrane

Choline sensor is successfully prepared by using immobilized enzyme, i.e., choline oxidase (ChOx) within a hybrid mesoporous membrane with 12 nm pore diameter (F127M). The measurement was based on the detection of hydrogen peroxide, which is the co-product of the enzymatic choline oxidation. The determination range and the response time are 5.0-800 μM and approximately 2 min, respectively. The sensor is very stable compared to the native enzyme sensor and 85% of the initial response was maintained even after storage for 80 days. These results indicate that ChOx is successfully immobilized and well stabilized, and at the same time, enzyme reaction proceeds efficiently. Such ability of hybrid mesoporous membrane F127M suggests great promise for effective immobilization of enzyme useful for electrochemical biosensors.     

Polyaniline Langmuir-Blodgett film based cholesterol biosensor

Cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) has been covalently linked to Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayers of polyaniline (PANI)-stearic acid (SA) prepared onto indium-tin-oxide (ITO) coated glass plates via glutaraldehyde (Glu) chemistry. These ChOx/Glu/PANI-SA LB film/ITO electrodes have been characterized by FT-IR, cyclic voltammetry, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The results of response measurements carried out on these bioelectrodes using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) reveal linearity from 25 to 400 mg/dL of cholesterol concentration with sensitivity of 88.9 nA mg(-1) dL. The linear regression analysis of bioelectrode reveals standard deviation and correlation coefficient of 0.737 microA and 0.9988, respectively. The low value of the Michaelis-Menten constant of these bioelectrodes obtained as 1.21 mM for the immobilized enzyme indicates increased interaction between ChOx and cholesterol in the PANI-SA LB film.
