- Three different sizes of chitosan-capped Au nanoparticles were synthesized and were used to incorporate Agrocybe aegerita peroxygenase (AaeAPO) onto the surface of glassy carbon electrode. The direct electron transfer of AaeAPO was achieved in all films. The highest amount of electroactive enzyme and highest electron transfer rate constant k(s) of AaeAPO were obtained in the film with the smallest size of chitosan-capped Au nanoparticles.
In anaerobic solutions, quasi-reversible oxidation and reduction are obtained with a formal potential of -0.280V vs. Ag/AgCl 1 M KCl in 100 mM (pH 7.0) PBS at scan rate of 1 V s(-1). Bioelectrocatalytic reduction currents can be obtained with the AaeAPO-modified electrode on addition of hydrogen peroxide. This reaction was suppressed when sodium azide, an inhibitor of AaeAPO, was present. Furthermore, the peroxide-dependent conversion of aniline was characterized and it was found that a polymer product via p-aminophenol is formed. And the AaeAPO biosensor was applied to determine aniline andThree different sizes of chitosan-capped Au nanoparticles were synthesized and were used to incorporate Agrocybe aegerita peroxygenase (AaeAPO) onto the surface of glassy carbon electrode.
