“…The covalent immobilization of HbNPs on to AuE in the construction of H 2 O 2 biosensor has resulted into its better analytical performance in terms of lower working potential (–0.2 V), which is similar to HRP/PAN-PNMThH (–0.2 V) [31], ERGO/GCE (–0.2 V) [32] Hb/NGP (0.2 V) [20], but higher than those involving Hb/c-MWCNT (–0.365 V) [24] Hb/Collagen microbelt (–0.38 V) [21], Hb/Ag sol films/GCE (–0.40 V) [22], GRCAPS/HRP/ITO (–0.45 V) [30], DNA–Hb/Au (–0.75 V) [25], and lower than TTP/SPCE (–0.1 V) [34], DP-AuNP/HRP/GCE (–0.05 V) [29], PtNPs/RGO/CS/Fc (–0.05 V) [28] Hb/AuNPs/L-cys/ p -ABSA/Pt disk (0.1 V) [23], PtRu/3DGF (0.2 V) [36], Cytc/NiONPs/c-MWCNT/PANI/Au (0.28 V) [37], GPtNPs (0.45 V) [35], LOD (0.0001 μM) which is also better/lower than the earlier biosensors, 8.24 μM [20], 0.91 μM [24], 0.4 μM [25], 0.37 μM [21], 0.1 μM [22], 0.07 μM [23], wider linear range (1–1200 μM) which is better than earlier biosensors, 10–150 μM [20], 10–120 μM [25], 5–30 μM [21], 0.21–31 μM [23], 1–25 μM [22], rapid response (2.5 s), and higher storage stability (90 days) compared with earlier biosensors (Supplementary Table S4). Thus, covalently bound protein NPs on to AuE could be used for the construction of other improved biosensors also.…”
