  • Title: Bienzyme system for the biocatalyzed deposition of polyaniline templated by multiwalled carbon nanotubes: a biosensor design.
    Author: Sheng Q, Zheng J.
    Journal: Biosens Bioelectron; 2009 Feb 15; 24(6):1621-8. PubMed ID: 18823771.
    Abstract:
    A novel method based on covalent attachment of two enzymes, glucose oxidase (GOD) and horseradish peroxide (HRP), onto carboxylic-derived multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) for the deposition of electroactive polyaniline (PANI) under ambient conditions is described. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the assembling of bienzyme and the morphology of PANI|MWNTs. Under the bienzyme biocatalytic condition, a head-to-tail structure of PANI templated by MWNTs was formed. The voltammetric characteristics of the resulting biosensor were investigated by cyclic voltammetry in the presence of glucose. The current response of PANI was linearly related to glucose concentration between 0.05 and 12.0mM with a correlation coefficient of 0.994. The synergistic performance of bienzyme, highly efficient polymerization, and templated deposition provide a general platform for the synthesis of nanowires and nanocircuits, the construction of bioelectronic devices, and the design of novel biosensors.
