Enzyme electrode for aromatic compounds exploiting the catalytic activities of microperoxidase-11
(2011)
Microperoxidase-11 (MR-11) which has been immobilised in a matrix of chitosan-embedded gold nanoparticles on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode catalyzes the conversion of aromatic substances. This peroxide-dependent catalysis of microperoxidase has been applied in an enzyme electrode for the first time to indicate aromatic compounds such as aniline. 4-fluoroaniline, catechol and p-aminophenol. The electrode signal is generated by the cathodic reduction of the quinone or quinoneimine which is formed in the presence of both MP-II and peroxide from the substrate. The same sensor principle will be extended to aromatic drugs.
