Abstract

Choline and acetylcholine sensors were prepared by using choline oxidase and acetylcholinesterase, entrapped in photocross- linkable poly(vinyl alcohol) bearing styrylpyridinium (PVA-SbQ). The measurements were based on the detection of hydrogen peroxide liberated by an enzyme reaction (choline oxidase) or two sequential enzyme reactions (acetylcholine esterase and choline oxidase). The determination range for choline was 2.5-2-150 αmol 1-1 and for acetylcholine 20-2-750 αmol 1-1. The response times were 2-2-4 min. The immobilized enzyme membranes stored in a dry state were very stable and no loss of activity was observed after storage for 60 days.
