Abstract
AbstractWe developed a biosensor based on supported lipid films (sBLM) with incorporated calixarenes for detection of cytochrome c (cyt c) using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Calix[6]arene (CALIX) was incorporated into soybean phosphatidylcholine (SBPC) liposomes in different molar ratios (SBPC:CALIX=10 : 1, 30 : 1 and 100 : 1). The lipid layer containing calixarenes has been formed on the surface of a gold electrode previously covered with an octadecanethiol monolayer. Both the sBLM capacitance and the electron transfer resistance showed noticeable modification at a cyt c concentration as low as 10 nM. However, a much higher concentration of free lysine (>30 µM) was necessary to induce a similar effect. Nonspecific interaction of cyt c with sBLM without CALIX was negligible.
