Amperometric Flow‐Injection Determination of Phenolic Compounds Using a Biosensor with Immobilized Laccase,Peroxidase and Tyrosinase

A screen‐printed four‐electrode sensor based on immobilization of laccase (Coriolus hirsutus), peroxidase (horseradish) and tyrosinase (mushroom) in the same array was developed for monitoring of phenols. The enzymes were immobilized onto a self‐assembled monolayer (4‐mercapto‐1‐butanol) modified gold surface via covalent attachment by epichlorohydrin coupling. The experimental conditions for simultaneous operation of the three enzymes were optimized based on catechol determination. The sensors were further applied for the amperometric detection of several substituted phenolic compounds, carried out using a single line flow‐injection system. Hydrogen peroxide served as co‐substrate for peroxidase. The limits of detection for phenols in aqueous solutions were in the micromolar range, one assay was completed in less than 5 min. The preliminary studies showed that the compatibility of the above mentioned enzyme array enabled the multielectrode biosensor to be applied to real samples including industrial wastewaters and surface waters.

Fabrication of a Novel Polymeric Scaffold for Amperometric Laccase Biosensor

Present work displays the preparation of an electrochemical biosensor using a conjugated polymer and laccase enzyme for catechol quantification in samples. The biosensing system is based on an enzyme immobilization on polymer modified graphite transducer surface. For that purpose, a random conjugated polymer, thienothiophene‐benzoxadiazole‐alt‐benzodithiophene (BOTT), was coated onto a graphite electrode surface via drop casting method followed by immobilization of a biomolecule (laccase) for sensing experiments. Herein, for the first time, we proposed a BOTT polymer as an inexpensive and effective way to fabricate highly sensitive and fast response biosensors. The proposed sensing system possessed superior properties with 0.38 μM limit of detection and 110.81 μA mM^?1 sensitivity. Furthermore, cyclic voltammetry and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used to examine the surface modifications. The proposed system could be useful for many future studies for catechol quantification in environmental samples.© 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

An Amperometric Hydrogen Peroxide Biosensor Based on a Hemoglobin‐Immobilized Dopamine‐Oxidation Polymer/Prussian Blue/Au Electrode

A novel method to immobilize hemoglobin (Hb) in a polymer grown from dopamine (DA) oxidation was proposed. The growth of the polymeric films during DA oxidation at the Prussian blue (PB) modified Au electrode in weak alkaline phosphate buffer (pH 9.18) and the immobilization of Hb into the polymeric films during their growth were traced by the electrochemical quartz crystal impedance analysis (EQCIA) method. A hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) biosensor was thus constructed, and effects of experimental parameters on the sensor performance, including the applied potential, solution pH and electroactive interferents, were examined. At an optimal potential of ?0.25 V vs. SCE, the current response of the biosensor in the selected phosphate buffer (pH 5.29) was linear with the concentration of H₂O₂ from 0.01 to 4.5 mM, with a lower limit of detection of 0.5 μM (S/N=3), short response time (within 10 s) and good anti‐interferent ability. The Michaelis constant (K_m^app) was estimated to be 3.80 mM. Compared with the separate film of PB or Hb, the composite film of Hb and PB exhibited a higher catalytic activity toward the reduction of H₂O₂, as a result of the additive effect of the chemical and biological catalyses.     

A Novel Fiber Optic Biosensor for the Determination of Adrenaline Based on Immobilized Laccase Catalysis

Abstract

A novel fiber optic biosensor for the determination of adrenaline based on immobilized laccase catalysis and fluorescence quenching was designed and fabricated. The immobilized laccase formed by the immobilization of laccase on the CuTAPc-Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles composite were used to catalyze the oxidation of adrenaline and the fluorescent oxygen-sensing membrane was used to detect the consumption of oxygen. The effects of pH and temperature on laccase activity using adrenaline as the substrate were studied. The optimal pH and temperature for the activity of immobilized laccase are 5.0 and 55°C, respectively. The immobilized laccase has good thermal, storage and operation stability. The lock-in technology was used to detect the change of the life time of the oxygen-sensing membrane. By using ABTS as the electron mediator, the biosensor showed a response time of 30 sec. The biosensor has good performance in the adrenaline concentration ranges of 2.0 × 10^?7 to 9.0 × 10^?7 mol/l and 1.0 × 10^?8 to 9.0 × 10^?8 mol/l, and it also shows good stability.     

Aluminum Sol-Gel Immobilized Amperometric Biosensor for H2O2

The determination of hydrogen peroxide is of practical importance in chemical, biological, clinical and many other fields. Enzyme electrodes have been studied widely for the past two decades and many research papers have been devoted to them. A very important factor in enzyme electrode development is the enzyme immobilization. Since Braun et al reported the first attempts to encapsulate proteins inside silica glasses in 1990, the low temperature sol-gel process has become an attractive avenue for the immobilization of biomolecules in connection with the development of new biosensors. A sufficient amount of trapped interstitial water contained in gels played an important role in the retention of the tertiary structure and reactivity of the immobilized enzymes.

Electrochemically Predicting Phenolic Substrates’ Suitability for Detection by Amperometric Laccase Biosensors

In this article, a rapid, simple method of electrochemically predicting a given phenolic substrate’s ability to be detected via amperometric laccase biosensors is proposed. Ten selected substrates were analysed by cyclic voltammetry and the relevant electrochemical parameters compared to biosensor kinetic parameters produced through amperometric detection of these substrates. The two major findings of this study were that biosensor detection sensitivities were found to correlate to: (1) peak oxidation potential of a substrate at unmodified electrodes and (2) the apparent Michaelis? Menten constant, K_m, of the biosensor‐substrate system, once corrections accounting for the relative differences in electroreducible product yield are made.     

A Laccase/Chitosan‐Lambda‐Carrageenan Based Voltammetric Biosensor for Phenolic Compound Detection

In this contribution, a new concept of voltammetric catechol biosensor, based on the encapsulation of laccase (LAC) in a chitosan+lambda‐carrageenan (CHIT+CAR) polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) employing a simple coacervation process is presented. Chitosan (CHIT) was prepared from α‐chitin extracted from shrimp shells and lambda‐carrageenan (CAR) was extracted from red algae, both polysaccharides and PEC being characterized using FTIR spectrometry and electrochemistry. Cyclic voltammetry was utilized to determine the analytical features of the laccase (LAC) biosensor for catechol detection. The linear range was from 10^?20 M to 10^?14 M with a sensitivity of 1.55 mA/p[catechol] and a limit of detection of 3×10^?21 M.The laccase biosensor exhibits good repeatability (RSD 2.38 %) and stability (four weeks). The developed biosensor was tested by applying it to the evaluation of the total polyphenolic content in natural oil samples.     

Amperometric Study of Au‐Colloid Function on Xanthine Biosensor Based on Xanthine Oxidase Immobilized in Polypyrrole Layer

Four kinds of xanthine oxidase (XOD) based amperometric biosensors were fabricated and their analytical performances were compared. Polypyrrole (PPY)/XOD biosensor was constructed by electrochemical oxidation of pyrrole in the solution containing xanthine oxidase and pyrrole in this paper. Colloidal Au was then immobilized on the biosensor. On the other hand, electron mediator, Prussian Blue (PB), was deposited on the electrode before the immobilization of PPY/XOD to enhance electron‐transfer rate and current response. The results showed that PPY/XOD, PPY/XOD/Au‐colloid, PB/PPY/XOD and PB/PPY/XOD/Au‐colloid biosensors exhibit good response to xanthine in 1×10^?6 M and 2×10^?5 M and Michaelis‐Menten constants (K_m) of these biosensors were 242.2, 113.4, 144.5, 43.2 μmol?L^?1, respectively. The dependence of current responses with applied voltages was discussed, and different mechanisms of these biosensors were discussed. It has been found that colloidal Au can enhance the current response at the same concentration of xanthine solution and decrease the energy‐barrier of electron‐transfer reaction on the electrode.     

Composite Multienzyme Amperometric Biosensors for an Improved Detection of Phenolic Compounds

A biosensor design, in which glucose oxidase and peroxidase are coimmobilized by simple physical inclusion into the bulk of graphite‐Teflon pellets, is reported for the detection of phenolic compounds. This design allows the “in situ” generation of the H₂O₂ needed for the enzyme reaction with the phenolic compounds, which avoids several problems detected in the performance of single peroxidase biosensors as a consequence of the presence of a high H₂O₂ concentration. So, a much lower surface fouling was found at the GOD‐HRP biosensor in comparison with a graphite‐Teflon‐HRP electrode, suggesting that the controlled generation of H₂O₂ makes more difficult the formation of polymers from the enzyme reaction products. The construction of trienzyme biosensors, in which GOD, HRP and tyrosinase were coimmobilized into the graphite‐Teflon matrix is also reported, and their performance was compared with that of GOD‐HRP bienzyme electrodes. The practical applicability of the composite multienzyme amperometric biosensors was evaluated by the estimation of the phenolic compounds content in waste waters from a refinery, and the results were compared with those obtained by using a colorimetric official method based on the reaction with 4‐aminoantipyrine.     

Amperometric Glucose Biosensor Based on Ultrafine Platinum Nanoparticles

Abstract

In the present paper the ultrafine and highly dispersed platinum nanoparticles (average size 3 nm) were used for the construction of a glucose biosensor in a simple method. An excellent response to glucose has been obtained with a high sensitivity (137.7 µA mM^?1 cm^?2) and fast response time (5 s). The biosensor showed a detection limit of 5 µM (at the ratio of signal to noise, S/N=3) and a linear range form 0.2 to 3.2 mM with a correlation coefficient r=0.999. The apparent Michaelis–Menten constant (k _m) and the maximum current were estimated to be 9.36 and 1.507 mA mM^?1 cm^?2, respectively. In addition, effects of pH value, applied potential and the interferents on the amperometric response of the sensor were investigated and discussed.     

Amperometric Biosensors Based on Recombinant Bacterial Laccase CotA for Hydroquinone Determination

In this study, stable CotA laccase from Bacillus subtilis 168 was adsorbed on electrode modified with a thiol graphene‐gold nanoparticle (thGP‐AuNPs) nanocomposite film. The novel bacterial laccase biosensor was employed for quantitative detection of hydroquinone (HQ) and the electrochemical properties of this laccase biosensor were investigated. The results indicate that the immobilized CotA shows great oxidation activity towards HQ in the presence of oxygen and the biosensor shows linear electrocatalytic activity in the concentration range from 1.6 to 409.6 μM, with a detection limit of 0.3 μM. Further, the CotA modified electrode, when compared to fungal laccase‐modified biosensors, shows better alkaline stability (retaining approximately 80 % and 70 % of response current at pH 8 and 9, respectively) and reusability (retaining ～87 % of response current after 100 days). The development of this new kind of laccase on a biosensor will offer a novel tool for substance detection applications in hostile environments, especially for industrial pollutants.     

Laccase Biosensor Based on Graphene-Chitosan Composite Film for Determination of Hydroquinone

A novel laccase biosensor was fabricated by entrapping laccase in graphene–chitosan composite materials and applied to determine hydroquinone. The graphene–chitosan composite had good conductivity, high stability, and good biocompatibility. Laccase was firmly embedded into the composite without other cross-linking reagents. The morphology and electrical conductivity of graphene-chitosan film were measured by scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. This biosensor catalyzed the oxidation of hydroquinone to p-quinone and the reduction back to hydroquinone. The cathodic peak current of hydroquinone increased significantly with concentration in the range of 2.0 × 10^?6 to 1.0 × 10^?4 mol · L^?1 (r = 0.9975) with a limit of detection of 2.6 × 10^?7 mol · L^?1. The response time of the biosensor to reach 95% of its steady-state current was less than 10 s. Moreover, the biosensor exhibited good stability, reproducibility, and selectivity.     

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.
