Аннотация:Four forms of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) have been used to prepare peroxidase-modified gold electrodes for mediatorless detection of peroxide: native HRP, wild type recombinant HRP, and two recombinant forms containing six-His tag at the C-terminus and at the N-terminus, respectively. The adsorption of the enzyme molecules on gold was studied by direct mass measurements with electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance. All the forms of HRP formed a monolayer coverage of the enzyme on the gold surface. However, only gold electrodes with adsorbed recombinant HRP forms exhibited high and stable current response to H2O2 due to its bioelectrocatalytic reduction based on direct electron transfer between gold and HRP. The sensitivity of the gold electrodes modified with recombinant HRPs was in the range of 1.4-1.5 A M (-1) cm(-2) at - 50 mV versus Ag \ AgCl. The response to H2O2 in the concentration range 0.1-40 muM was not dependent on the presence of a mediator (i.e. catechol) giving strong evidence that the electrode currents are diffusion limited. Lower detection limit for H2O2 detection was 10 nM at the electrodes modified with recombinant HRPs. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
