A novel Laccase Biosensor based on Laccase immobilized Graphene-Cellulose Microfiber Composite modified Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode for Sensitive Determination of Catechol

Abstract

In the present work, we demonstrate the fabrication of laccase biosensor to detect the catechol (CC) using laccase immobilized on graphene-cellulose microfibers (GR-CMF) composite modified screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE). The direct electrochemical behavior of laccase was investigated using laccase immobilized different modified SPCEs, such as GR/SPCE, CMF/SPCE and GR-CMF/SPCE. Compared with laccase immobilized GR and CMF modified SPCEs, a well-defined redox couple of CuI/CuII for laccase was observed at laccase immobilized GR-CMF composite modified SPCE. Cyclic voltammetry results show that the as-prepared biosensor has 7 folds higher catalytic activity with lower oxidation potential towards CC than SPCE modified with GR-CMF composite. Under optimized conditions, amperometric i-t method was used for the quantification of CC, and the amperometric response of the biosensor was linear over the concertation of CC ranging from 0.2 to 209.7 μM. The sensitivity, response time and the detection limit of the biosensor for CC is 0.932 μMμA−1 cm−2, 2 s and 0.085 μM, respectively. The biosensor has high selectivity towards CC in the presence of potentially active biomolecules and phenolic compounds. The biosensor also accessed for the detection of CC in different water samples and shows good practicality with an appropriate repea.

Facile preparation of a cellulose microfibers–exfoliated graphite composite: a robust sensor for determining dopamine in biological samples

“…2C do not show the obvious bands in the fingerprint region, and confirms the presence of pure carbon nature of graphite. The above results are more consistent with our previous reported literature for CMF and confirm the presence of CMF in graphene-CMF composite (Palanisamy et al 2017).…”

Graphene Quantum Dots‐based Electrochemical Biosensor for Catecholamine Neurotransmitters Detection

“…Laccase contains Cu I /Cu II (T2/T3) cluster as a redox active center, and due to this fact it is responsible for direct bioelectrochemical behavior of epinephrine. As it can be observed also in Figure B, a redox couple for laccase appeared at laccase immobilized on GCE/GQDs: anodic and cathodic peak potentials were observed at 0.201 and 0.054 V, which is contributed to the T2/T3 cluster of Cu I /Cu II redox active center of laccase responsible for the redox reaction of EP. Figure A introduced EP redox reactions catalyzed by laccase, where catecholamine reacts to form the corresponding ortho ‐quinone, and other intermediate products, finally engages with this reaction 4 electrons (confirmed experimentally number of electrons=4.11) ,.…”

Graphene dispersed cellulose microfibers composite for efficient immobilization of hemoglobin and selective biosensor for detection of hydrogen peroxide

“…A review of the published literature indicates the great majority of GR and cellulose composites have been prepared by chemical reduction of graphene oxide and cellulose [28][29][30], but none have demonstrated the direct preparation of GR-CMF composite. However, we have recently demonstrated the direct preparation of GR-CMF composite as an immobilization matrix for laccase [31]. In the present work, we evaluate the electrochemical redox characteristics of Hb immobilized on a GR-CMF composite modified electrode and discuss this in relation to comparable modified electrodes for the immobilization of Hb.…”
