This article reports on the electrochemical behavior, relative to the Fe(III)‐Fe(II) conversion, of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) incorporated in a salt bridge‐supported bilayer lipid membrane (sb‐BLM) modified with lauric acid (LA). The incorporation of HRP was achieved by electrostatic interaction between HRP and LA anion sites in the sb‐BLM, which results in the enhancement of the electron exchange between the protein and the electrode surface. A quasireversible electron transfer was observed even in the absence of mediators. A novel and biological compatible biosensor was constructed. The electrocatalytically kinetic behavior of HRP was investigated with this biosensor. Furthermore, the cathodic peak current (IPc) of HRP was increased in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, the intensity of which is strictly dependent on the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The relationship is ΔIPc(A)=[1.215 lnC H 2 O 2(mmol L−1)+1.018]×10−7. The effects of the coexisting substances and the pH values on the response of the biosensor were also investigated for optimum analytical performance.
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.
