Abstract:
An amperometric biosensor for the detection of the reduced nicotinamide cofactors NADH and NADPH was designed, based on the electrochemical oxidation of NAD(P)H with an iron oxide/carbon black composite (Fe(2)O(3)/CB) electrode. The electrode exhibited excellent performances in that it led to a substantial decrease in the overpotential of electrochemical NADH oxidation. Iron oxide plays a significant role as a catalyst for NADH oxidation and the reaction occurs at +0.00 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The method of the sensor construction is very simple and the sensor performed well, giving high sensitivity, high stability, and a broad detection range. The sensitivity of this system is 2.54 microA mM(-1) and the limit of detection (S/N=3) is 10 microM. A linear range was observed between 10 microM and 1000 microM of NADH (R(2)=0.993), which is preferable to that of the previous studies. The Fe(2)O(3)/CB electrode also oxidizes NADPH under the same condition and can be applied as an NADPH sensor. Moreover, when the sensor system was integrated into a dehydrogenase-based sensor system, it also showed a good sensing performance.
