Abstract
Catalytic current of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH) immobilized over electropolymerized methylene green (MG) is increased only five times after the addition of the freely diffusing mediator. This value, being an efficiency criterion for bioelectrocatalysis, is several (three to six) times lower than that for the best reagentless glucose electrodes reported for this enzyme. Thermodynamics of the polyMG|PQQ-GDH electrode is determined by the enzyme-catalyzed reaction pointing to the direct bioelectrocatalysis. PQQ-GDH immobilized over polyMG displays the current plateau region from 0.0 to 0.2 V in the presence of glucose; at 0.00 V, being the optimal potential for biosensing applications, the catalytic current of the polyMG|PQQ-GDH electrode is 700-fold higher than that for the enzyme on a blank electrode. Successful glucose detection in human sweat by means of the corresponding enzyme electrode confirms that the reported bioelectrocatalytic system is attractive for advanced biosensors, as well as for biofuel cells.
