Abstract
By immobilizing catalase on a nanocomposite containing functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes and l-cysteine modified gold nanoparticles, a third generation biosensor was developed for determination of the hydrogen peroxide. The cyclic voltammograms of catalase on the nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode showed a pair of well-defined quasi-reversible redox peaks with the formal potential of −441±2mV versus Ag/AgCl at a scan rate of 0.05V/s. The heterogeneous electron transfer constant was calculated to be 8.72s−1. The enzyme electrode response toward hydrogen peroxide was linear in the concentrations ranging from 1nM to 1μM, with a detection limit of 0.5nM. The apparent Michaelis–Menten constant was calculated to be 0.34μM.
