Abstract
We determined transaminases in human blood serum with an amperometric glutamate biosensor. The probe was a hydrogen peroxide sensor assembled with appropriate selective membranes to enhance the probe specificity and lifetime. Calibration curves of glutamate were linear in the range 1-1000 mumol/L, with a response time of < 1 min. This probe was subsequently applied to the measurement of activities of aspartate and alanine aminotransferases in human sera. Analytical recovery studies demonstrated the suitability of the glutamate sensor by measuring 91-99% of added glutamate, 92-106% of added aspartate aminotransferase, and 101-105% of added alanine aminotransferase. Transaminase activity measured in 80 sera correlated well with results obtained with a spectrophotometric procedure.
