Abstract:
Hemoglobin can exhibit not only a direct electron transfer reacting after being entrapped in a DNA membrane, but also a greatly enhanced peroxidase activity toward the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. Based on the direct electrochemical property and nice enzymatic activity of the protein in a DNA membrane, a reagentless hydrogen peroxide biosensor was prepared. The peak current related to hydrogen peroxide was linearly proportional to its concentration in the range of 1.9 x 10(-6)-6.8 x 10(-4) mol L(-1). The detection limit was 1 x 10(-6) mol/L.
