Mathematical analysis of urea amperometric biosensor with Non-Competitive inhibition for Non-Linear Reaction-Diffusion equations with Michaelis-Menten kinetics

Abstract

This article examines a mathematical model for stable urea amperometric biosensors with non-competitive inhibition under homogenous conditions. The system is based on reaction and diffusion equations with a non-linear component associated with the Michaelis-Menten kinetics of the enzyme reaction. Theoretical findings in this study can be used to examine the impact of various factors, including the Michaelis-Menten constant and the Thiele modulus. The steady-state non-linear reaction–diffusion equations were solved using two effective and widely used analytical approaches, the Akbari-Ganji method (AGM) and the differential transform method (DTM). The generalized approximation analytical solution for the concentrations of the substrate, inhibitor, and product, as well as the current for the experimental values of the parameter, is developed. The current can also be used to analyze the resistance and sensitivity of biosensors. The digital simulation was carried out utilizing MATLAB software. The numerical results help to validate the analytical results. The impact of membrane thickness, maximum enzymatic rate, and substrate concentration on biosensor response was evaluated.
