Bilirubin oxidase (EC 1.3.3.5) catalyzes the oxidation of bilirubin to biliverdin with the concurrent reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. A platinum electrode was prepared with an immobilized bilirubin oxidase membrane. Bilirubin was determined by monitoring the increase in hydrogen peroxide concentration from the enzyme reaction. The calibration plot for bilirubin shows linearity up to 300 pM. The detection limit is 0.7 pM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
