A novel enzyme electrode using flavocytochrome P450scc (RfP450scc) was developed for cholesterol detection. This biosensor offers a quick and sensitive amperometric method for determining cholesterol levels.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Electrochemistry
  • Enzyme Engineering

Background:

  • Cholesterol determination is crucial for diagnosing various health conditions.
  • Enzyme electrodes offer sensitive and selective biosensing platforms.
  • Flavocytochrome P450scc (RfP450scc) is a potential enzyme for cholesterol biosensing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a screen-printed enzyme electrode for the amperometric determination of cholesterol.
  • To investigate different immobilization methods for RfP450scc on the electrode surface.
  • To evaluate the analytical performance of the developed biosensor.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a screen-printed enzyme electrode incorporating RfP450scc.
  • Immobilization of RfP450scc using glutaraldehyde or agarose hydrogel entrapment.

  • Characterization of biosensor sensitivity, detection limit, and linearity.

    • Main Results:

    • The glutaraldehyde-immobilized RfP450scc electrode showed a sensitivity of 13.8 nA microM(-1) and a detection limit of 300 microM.
    • The agarose-based electrode exhibited a sensitivity of 6.9 nA microM(-1) and a detection limit of 155 microM.
    • Both electrodes demonstrated a rapid amperometric response to cholesterol within 1.5-2 minutes.

    Conclusions:

    • A functional screen-printed enzyme electrode for cholesterol detection using RfP450scc has been successfully developed.
    • The choice of immobilization method (glutaraldehyde vs. agarose) influences the biosensor's sensitivity and detection limit.
    • The developed biosensor offers a promising approach for rapid and sensitive cholesterol amperometric determination.
