Abstract:The electrochemical behavior of the enzyme peroxidase (HRP) was investigated using the hydrogen peroxide as enzymatic substrate and the 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) as mediator of electrons on graphite electrodes. Several parameters were optimized, namely, the applied potential to the amperometric technique fixed in -0.125V, the 0.1 mol L-1 phosphate-citrate buffer at pH 5.0 as supporting electrolyte and the proportion between the 5-ASA and H2O2 in 1:7, among others. It was observed the catalysis of the oxida… Show more
