“…[2][3][4] So proteins are often incorporated into different thin film-modified electrodes, which can enhance the direct electron transfer rate between the proteins or enzymes and the underlying electrodes. A variety of materials, such as surfactants, [5][6][7][8][9][10] sol-gels, [11][12][13] polymers, 14-17 composite films, [18][19][20][21] carbon nanotubes, [22][23][24][25][26][27] and nanoparticles [28][29][30][31][32] have been employed to immobilize enzymes. Recently, nanoparticles have attracted increasing attention in electrochemical studies for the protein electrochemistry and protein immobilization because of some noticeable advantages of nanoparticles, such as large surface area, high thermal and chemical stability, tunable porosity and biocompatibility.…”
