This paper presents computational modeling of response kinetics of bioelectroanalytical system based on solid supported lipase substrate and lipase interaction. The model assumes that lipase substrate is formed by dripping and drying a small amount of the ethanol solution of 9-(5′-ferrocenylpentanoyloxy)nonyl disulfide (FPONDS) and that lipase is capable of cleaving FPONDS ester bonds via hydrolysis mechanism. Two mathematical models have been developed and evaluated trough computational simulation series by comparing them to experimental data. The results of simulation demonstrate that a good fitting might be obtained only taking into account non-linear substrate wash off process.
The model presented accounts for the diffusion of a reactant and of charge carriers within the modifier layer placed at electrode surface, and redox interaction between reactant and an active center bearing charge carriers. The study extends our previous model by the use of a combination of two kinds of redox interaction-a simple chemical second-order reaction, and Michaelis-type redox reaction. Depending on relative increments from these two kinetic models, either linear, or hyperbolic dependencies of electric current on reactant concentration were obtained. The results obtained have been analyzed in terms of current-concentration interdependencies.
