Ferrocene-functionalized polymer glucose oxidase

A further approach to electrically wire redox enzymes by means of supramolecular structures that include CNTs as conductive elements involved the wrapping of CNTs with water-soluble polymers, for example, polyethylene imine or polyacrylic acid.54 The polymer coating enhanced the solubility of the CNTs in aqueous media, and facilitated the covalent linkage of the enzymes to the functionalized CNTs (Fig. 12.9c). The polyethylene imine-coated CNTs were covalently modified with electroactive ferrocene units, and the enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx) was covalently linked to the polymer coating. The ferrocene relay units were electrically contacted with the electrode by means of the CNTs, and the oxidized relay mediated the electron transfer from the enzyme-active center to the electrode, a process that activated the bioelectrocatalytic functions of GOx. Similar results were observed upon tethering the ferrocene units to polyacrylic acid-coated CNTs, and the covalent attachment of GOx to the modifying polymer. [Pg.348]

Karan et al. [10] reported glucose sensors using quinone modified poly-siloxane (Fig. 3.8a-A) and acrylonitrile-ethylene (Fig. 3.8a-B) co-polymers and glucose oxidase. Sensors constructed with glucose oxidase and quinone modified polysiloxane were considerably more efficient than those using acrylonitrile-ethylene system to transfer electrons from reduced glucose oxidase to a conventional carbon paste electrode. Their results coincide with those described previously for the ferrocene-modified polysiloxane system. The excellent flexibility of poly(siloxane) allows it to function as an efficient... [Pg.356]
