Abstract: | Direct electron transfer of immobilized copper, zinc‐superoxide dismutase (SOD) onto electrodeposited nickel‐oxide (NiOx) nanoparticle modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode displays a well defined redox process with formal potential of ?0.03 V in pH 7.4. Cyclic voltammetry was used for deposition of (NiOx) nanoparticles and immobilization of SOD onto GC electrode. The surface coverage (Γ) and heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (ks) of immobilized SOD are 1.75×10?11 mol cm?2 and 7.5±0.5 s?1, respectively. The biosensor shows a fast amperometric response (3 s) toward superoxide at a wide concentration range from 10 µM to 0.25 mM with sensitivity of 13.40 nA µM?1 cm?2 and 12.40 nA µM?1 cm?2, detection limit of 2.66 and 3.1 µM based on anodically and cathodically detection. This biosensor exhibits excellent stability, reproducibility and long life time. |
