Abstract:
In this chapter, we describe the tethering of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to reduced graphene oxide (RGO) for sensing H2O2 in serum. To accomplish this, RGO was synthesized through a green route by reducing graphene oxide (GO) prepared by Hummers method with carrot extract. The RGO was then covalently functionalized by electrochemical amination using fourth generation, amine-terminated PAMAM dendrimers. Subsequently, HRP was postfunctionalized through glutaraldehyde linkage. The synthesized RGO and the functionalization steps were well characterized by spectroscopic, microscopic, and electrochemical techniques. The application of HRP tethered RGO was demonstrated for H2O2 sensing in blood serum. This work provides scope for extending this functionalization strategy for other carbonaceous materials as well.
