1IntroductionTy rosine or 4-hydroxyphenylalanine is av ital constituent of proteins and play important roles in many biochemical processes [1,2].Itisindispensable for humanst oestablish and maintain ap ositive nitrogen balance [2].T yrosine is one of the most important precursors of dopamine,c atecholamine,m elanin, lyothyronine and epinephrine [3].I t has been reported that the unusual concentration levels of tyrosinec ause some humand iseases like tyrosenemia [4],parkinson [5],and psychological ones [6] so the measuring of tyrosine with ar eliable methodi sv ery important from biological and pharmacological stand points.C urrently,d ifferent analytical methodologies have been proposed for tyrosine determination includingh igh performance liquid chromatography [7,8],g as chromatography [9, 10],i on exchange chromatography [11],f luorimetry [12],s pectrophotometry [13],c hemiluminescence [14], and capillary electrophoresis [15] techniques.H owever, these methods are time consuming and expensive.O nt he other hand, electrochemical techniques have somea dvantages such as rapid response,l ow cost and high sensitivity that makes them suitable for routine analysis of electroactive compounds like amino acids [16-18].V arious electrode modifiers like imprinted electrochemical sensor based on gold nanoparticles decorated graphene oxide [19] cobalt hydroxide [20],c opper oxide [21] and Fedoped hydroxyapatite nano-particles [22] have been suggested for l-tyrosine determination.Graphene,atwo dimensional carbon sheet, has attracted considerable attention for use in many fieldss uch as energy storage and sensors due to its large surface area and high electricalc onductivity [23,24].G raphenea nd graphene oxides have been widely used in preparation of the modified electrode for oxidation of methanol [25][26][27] and detection of DNAh ybridization [28],c itrinin [29], curcumin [30],q uercetin and morin [31, 32],g lucose [33], impedimetric [34],o chratoxin A[ 35],a nd Cu(II) and Cd(II) [36].R ecently,g raphene quantum dots (GQDs), as an ew zero dimensional material, has emergeda s apromising material for the development of electrochemical sensors.T ing et al. used GQD-Aue lectrocatalyst for high sensitive detectiono fh eavy metal ions [37].Z hao et al. proposed GQDm odified graphite electrode for sensing of ssDNAm olecules[ 38].In the presenti nvestigation, we describe as imple methodb asedo ns ol-gel technology to prepare renewable surface carbon-composite electrode (CCE) bulk modified with GQD-RuCl 3 nano-compositef or electroanalytical detectiono fl-tyrosine.T he constructed biosensor showed high stabilitya nd good electrocatalytic activity for the detectiono fl-tyrosine.Abstract:T he ability to analytically detect l-tyrosine is ac linicaln ecessity not only for the diagnosis of some diseases such as tyrosinemia, but also for the studyo nvarious tyrosine-associated disorders.I nh ere,g rapheneq uantum dot (GQD) was synthesized by carbonization of citric acid and used to prepareG QD-RuCl 3 nano-composite.G QD and GQD-RuCl 3 we...
