Abstract: | Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) was used to characterize enzyme-modified glass-gold specimens. The exposed gold surface was functionalized with an aminothiol and reacted with carbodiimide-activated glucose oxidase. The specimen surface was examined with SECM, using a 25 μm platinum electrode. Images were acquired showing the topography, electric conductivity, and enzymatic activity of the composite surface. It was found that the hydroxy-groups of the glass surface are as likely to bind to the activated enzyme as the amino-groups on the gold surface. |
