Oxidase/peroxidase bilayer-modified electrodes as sensors for lactate,pyruvate, cholesterol and uric acid

Enzyme heterobilayer-modified electrodes were fabricated by successively covalently binding to the surface of a tin(IV) oxide plate horseradish peroxidase (HRP), then an oxidase (lactate, pyruvate or cholesterol oxidase or uricase), which liberates hydrogen peroxide by reaction with the respective substrate. The cooperative action of oxidase-HRP leads to an efficient amperometric sensor system with the minimum amount of enzyme immobilized on an electrode.
