Abstract

A novel approach was used to immobilize glycosylated enzymes on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) based on the interaction of boronic acid and carbohydrate moiety within the glycoproteins. 4-Aminomethylphenylboronic acid (4-AMBA) was covalently grafted on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by amine cation radical formation in the electrooxidation process of the amino-containing compound. The boronic acid group immobilized in this way could recognize glycoproteins such as glucose oxidase, horseradish peroxidase, dehydrogenase and others. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement proved the presence of a 4-AMBA monolayer on the GCE. The adsorptions of three kinds of enzymes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The activity of the immobilized horseradish peroxidase was also studied.
