A Penicillamine Biosensor Based on Tyrosinase Immobilized on Nano‐Au/ PAMAM Dendrimer Modified Gold Electrode

Gold electrodes were modified with submonolayers of 3‐mercaptopropionic acid and further reacted with poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers to obtain thin films. The high affinity of PAMAM dendrimer for nano‐Au with its amine groups was used to realize the role of nano‐Au as an intermediator to immobilize the enzyme of tyrosinase. The characterization of the modified electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Tyrosinase can catalyze the oxidation of catechol to o‐benzoquinone. When penicillamine was added to the solution, it reacted with o‐benzoquinone to form the corresponding thioquinone derivatives, which resulted in decrease of the reduction current of o‐benzoquinone. Based on this, a new electrochemical sensor for determination of penicillamine has been developed.     

A New Amperometric Biosensor Based on HRP/Nano-Au/L-Cysteine/Poly（o-Aminobenzoic acid）-Membrane-Modified Platinum Electrode for the Determination of Hydrogen Peroxide

The third generation amperometric biosensor for the determination of hydrogen peroxide （H2O2） has been described. For the fabrication of biosensor, o-aminobenzoic acid （oABA） was first electropolymerized on the surface of platinum （Pt） electrode as an electrostatic repulsion layer to reject interferences. Horseradish peroxidase （HRP） absorbed by nano-scaled particulate gold （nano-Au） was immobilized on the electrode modified with polymerized o-aminobenzoic acid （poABA） with L-cysteine as a linker to prepare a biosensor for the detection of H2O2. Amperometric detection of H2O2 was realized at a potential of ＋20 mV versus SCE. The resulting biosensor exhibited fast response, excellent reproducibility and sensibility, expanded linear range and low interferences. Temperature and pH dependence and stability of the sensor were investigated. The optimal sensor gave a linear response in the range of 2.99×10^-6 to 3.55×10^-3 mol·L^-1 to H2O2 with a sensibility of 0.0177 A·L^-1·mol^-1 and a detection limit （S/N = 3） of 4.3×10^-7 mol·L^-1. The biosensor demonstrated a 95% response within less than 10 s.     

Fabrication of Tyrosinase Biosensor Based on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes‐Chitosan Composite and Its Application to Rapid Determination of Coliforms

A tyrosinase (Tyr) biosensor was fabricated by immobilizing Tyr on the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)‐chitosan (Chit) composite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The MWNTs‐Chit composite film provided a biocompatible platform for the Tyr to retain the bioactivity and the MWNTs possessed excellent inherent conductivity to enhance the electron transfer rate. The Tyr/MWNTs‐Chit/GCE biosensor showed high sensitivity (412 mA/M), broad linear response (1.0×10^?8–2.8×10^?5 M), low detection limit (5.0 nM) and good stability (remained 93% after 10 days) for determination of phenol. The biosensor was further applied to rapid detection of the coliforms, represented by Escherichia coli (E. coli) in this work. The current responses were proportional to the quantity of coliforms in the range of 10⁴–10⁶ cfu/mL. After 5.0 h of incubation, E. coli could be detected as low as 10 cfu/mL.

Electron‐Transfer Mediator Microbiosensor Fabrication Based on Immobilizing HRP‐Labeled Au Colloids on Gold Electrode Surface by 11‐Mercaptoundecanoic Acid Monolayer

In this paper, a new strategy for constructing a mediator‐type amperometric hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) microbiosensor was described. An electropolymerized thionine film (PTH) was deposited directly onto a gold electrode surface. The resulting redox film was extremely thin, adhered well onto a substrate (electrode), and had a highly cross‐linked network structure. Consequently, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was successfully immobilized on nanometer‐sized Au colloids, which were supported by thiol‐tailed groups of 11‐mercaptoundecanoic acid (11‐MUA) monolayer covalently bound onto PTH film. With the aid of the PTH mediator, HRP‐labeled Au colloids microbiosensor displayed excellent electrocatalytical response to the reduction of H₂O₂. This matrix showed a biocompatible microenvironment for retaining the native activity of the covalent HRP and a very low mass transport barrier to the substrate, which provided a fast amperometric response to H₂O₂. The proposed H₂O₂ microbiosensor exhibited linear range of 3.5 μM–0.7 mM with a detection limit of 0.05 μM (S/N=3). The response showed a Michaelis‐Menten behavior at larger H₂O₂ concentrations. The K_M^app value for the biosensors based on 24 nm Au colloids was found to be 47 μM, which demonstrated that HRP immobilized on Au colloids exhibited a high affinity to H₂O₂ with no loss of enzymatic activity. This microbiosensor possessed good analytical performance and storage stability.     

Pure Organic Phase Phenol Biosensor Based on Tyrosinase Entrapped in a Vapor Deposited Titania Sol‐Gel Membrane

A novel amperometric biosensor was constructed for the determination of phenols in pure organic phase. This biosensor was fabricated by immobilizing tyrosinase in a titania sol‐gel membrane which was obtained with a vapor deposition method. This method was facile and avoided the calcination step needed in conventional titania sol‐gel process. The titania sol‐gel membrane could effectively retain the essential water layer around the enzyme molecule needed for maintaining its activity in organic phase. The experimental parameters such as solvent and operating potential were optimized. At ?100 mV this biosensor showed a good amperometric response to phenols in pure chloroform without any mediator and rehydration of the enzyme. For catechol determination the sensor exhibited a fast response of less than 5 seconds. The sensitivity of different phenols was as follows: catechol > phenol > p‐cresol. Additionally, the apparent Michaelis‐Menten constants of the encapsulated tyrosinase to catechol, phenol and p‐cresol were found to be 0.15±0.003, 0.17±0.008 and 0.21±0.004 mM, respectively. The biosensor had also good reproducibility and stability. This work provided a promising platform for the construction of pure organic phase biosensors and the determination of substrates with poor water solubility.     

A Modulated Tyrosinase Enzyme‐Based Biosensor for Application to the Detection of Dichlorvos and Atrazine Pesticides

A study was been made of tyrosinase amperometric biosensors for the determination of organophosphorus (dichlorvos) and triazine (atrazine) pesticides. The biosensors are based on the competitive inhibition of tyrosinase (Tyr) by the pesticides. Tyr becomes active when the reduced form of the charge‐transfer mediator (1,2‐naphthoquinone‐4‐sulfonic acid (NQS), 1,2‐naphthoquinone (NQ) and 3,5‐di‐tert‐butyl‐1,2‐benzoquinone (t‐BQ) were tested) are electrochemically generated onto the working electrode surface, which permits modulation of the enzymatic activity. The inhibition is reversible as there is a complete recovery of the current due to enzyme activity without the studied pesticides. The charge‐transfer mediators (the quinonic molecules) and the enzyme were co‐immobilized on the working electrode to obtain reagentless biosensors. Kinetic studies in solution were carried out to compare the efficiency of the measurement mechanism.     

A Lactulose Bienzyme Biosensor Based on Self‐Assembled Monolayer Modified Electrodes

A bienzyme biosensor in which the enzymes β‐galactosidase (β‐Gal), fructose dehydrogenase (FDH), and the mediator tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) were coimmobilized by cross‐linking with glutaraldehyde atop a 3‐mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) self‐assembled monolayer on a gold disk electrode, is reported. The working conditions selected were E_app=+0.10 V and (25±1) °C. The useful lifetime of one single TTF‐β‐Gal‐FDH‐MPA‐AuE was surprisingly long, 81 days. A linear calibration plot was obtained for lactulose over the 3.0×10^?5–1.0×10^?3 mol L^?1 concentration range, with a limit of detection of 9.6×10^?6 mol L^?1. The effect of potential interferents (lactose, glucose, galactose, sucrose, and ascorbic acid) on the biosensor response was evaluated. The behavior of the SAM‐based biosensor in flow‐injection systems in connection with amperometric detection was tested. The analytical usefulness of the biosensor was evaluated by determining lactulose in a pharmaceutical preparation containing a high lactulose concentration, and in different types of milk. Finally, the analytical characteristics of the TTF‐β‐Gal‐FDH‐MPA‐AuE are critically compared with those reported for other recent enzymatic determinations of lactulose.     

Immunosensors Based on Layer‐by‐Layer Self‐Assembled Au Colloidal Electrode for the Electrochemical Detection of Antigen

Colloidal Au particles have been deposited on the gold electrode through layer‐by‐layer self‐assembly using cysteamine as cross‐linkers. Self‐assembly of colloidal Au on the gold electrode resulted in an easier attachment of antibody, larger electrode surface and ideal electrode behavior. The redox reactions of [Fe(CN)₆]^4?/[Fe(CN)₆]^3? on the gold surface were blocked due to antibody immobilization, which were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. The interaction of antigen with grafted antibody recognition layers was carried out by soaking the modified electrode into a phosphate buffer at pH 7.0 with various concentrations of antigen at 37 °C for 30 min. Further, an amplification strategy to use biotin conjugated antibody was introduced for improving the sensitivity of impedance measurements. Thus, the sensor based on this immobilization method exhibits a large linear dynamic range, from 5–400 μg/L for detection of Human IgG. The detection limit is about 0.5 μg/L.     

Self‐Assembled Hollow Polyaniline/Au Nanospheres Obtained by a One‐Step Synthesis

Self‐assembled hollow nanosphere composites of polyaniline and Au nanoparticles (PANI‐p‐TSA/Au) were chemically synthesized from solutions containing p‐toluenesulfonic acid (p‐TSA) with the addition of gold chloride trihydrate as the oxidant. The composite materials were characterized by SEM, TEM, and a range of spectroscopic methods. Spectroscopic characterizations confirmed that the polymeric product is a form of doped PANI, while electron diffraction and X‐ray diffraction showed that elemental Au was present in the PANI‐p‐TSA/Au nanocomposites. The room temperature electrical conductivity of the PANI‐p‐TSA/Au nanocomposites was two orders of magnitude greater than a PANI‐p‐TSA obtained in the presence of ammonium persulfate as the oxidant under the same conditions.

     

4‐Aminothiophenol Self‐Assembled Monolayer for the Development of a DNA Biosensor Aiming the Detection of Cylindrospermopsin Producing Cyanobacteria

The development of a DNA biosensor for the detection of cylindrospermopsin, based on self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 4‐aminothiophenol, is investigated. SAMs were characterized by electrochemical reductive desorption. Detection of probe immobilization and hybridization has been achieved by cyclic and square‐wave voltammetry (SWV), using methylene blue (MB) as electroactive indicator. The SWV data obtained in phosphate buffer, with and without NaCl, after MB accumulation, revealed an increase of the redox indicator current peaks after the hybridization step. This behavior is consistent with MB intercalation into DNA, for high ionic strength media and attributed to electrostatic interactions in the absence of salt. Evidence for surface modification is also provided by atomic force microscopy and ellipsometry.

Novel carbosilane dendrimers based on 1,6-hexanediol were prepared by divergent approach. Using 1,6-hexanediol-based diallyl ether as the core molecule, the dendrimers were prepared to the third generation with 54 allyl groups on the periphery by alternate hydrosilylation-allylation reactions.     

Amperometric Biosensor for Detection of Phenolic Compounds Based on Tyrosinase,N‐Acetyl‐L‐cysteine‐capped Gold Nanoparticles and Chitosan Nanocomposite

A novel biosensor was fabricated based on the immobilization of tyrosinase and N ‐acetyl‐L ‐cysteine‐capped gold nanoparticles onto the surface of the glassy carbon electrode via the film forming by chitosan. The NAC‐AuNPs (N ‐acetyl‐L ‐cysteine‐capped gold nanoparticles) with the average size of 3.4 nm had much higher specific surface area and good biocompatibility, which were favorable for increasing the immobilization amount of enzyme, retaining the catalytic activity of enzyme and facilitating the fast electron transfer. The prepared biosensor exhibited suitable amperometric responses at −0.2 V for phenolic compounds vs. saturated calomel electrode. The parameters of influencing on the working electrode such as pH , temperature, working potential were investigated. Under optimum conditions, the biosensor was applied to detect catechol with a linear range of 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ to 6.0 × 10⁻⁵ mol•L⁻¹ , and the detection limit of 5.0 × 10⁻⁸ mol•L⁻¹ (S /N =3). The stability and selectivity of the proposed biosensor were also evaluated.     

A Self‐Sampling‐and‐Flow Biosensor for Continuous Monitoring

A self‐sampling‐and‐flow biosensor was fabricated by sandwiching a nitrocellulose strip on the working electrode side of the double‐sided microporous gold electrodes and a wicking pad on the counter electrode side. The double‐sided microporous electrodes were formed by plasma sputtering of gold on a porous nylon substrate. Sample was taken up to the enzyme‐immobilized working electrode by the capillary action of the front nitrocellulose strip dipped into the sample solution, analyzed electrochemically at the enzyme‐immobilized electrode, and diffuses out to the backside wicking pad through the micropores of the electrodes, constituting a complete flow cell device with no mechanical liquid‐transporting device. Biosensor was formed by co‐immobilizing the glucose oxidase and electron transfer mediator (ferrocene acetic acid) on the thioctic acid self‐assembled monolayer‐modified working electrode. A typical response time of the biosensor was about 5 min with the sensitivity of 2.98 nA/mM glucose, providing linear response up to 22.5 mM. To demonstrate the use of self‐sampling‐and‐flow biosensor, the consumption rate of glucose in the presence of yeast was monitored for five days.
