Layer-By-Layer Self-Assembly of Glucose Oxidase and Os(Bpy)2ClPyCH2NH−poly(Allylamine) Bioelectrode

Abstract
The uptake of glucose oxidase (GOx) onto a polycationic redox polymer (PAA−Os)-modified surface, by adsorption from dilute aqueous GOx solutions, was followed by the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and shows double exponential kinetics. The electrochemistry of the layer-by-layer-deposited redox-active polymer was followed by cyclic voltammetry in glucose-free solutions, and the enzyme catalysis mediated by the redox polymer was studied in β-d-glucose-containing solutions. AFM studies of the different layers showed the existence of large two dimension enzyme aggregates on the osmium polymer for 1 μM GOx and less aggregation for 50 nM GOx solutions. When the short alkanethiol, 2,2'-diaminoethyldisulfide was preadsorbed onto gold, a monoexponential adsorption law was observed, and single GOx enzyme molecules could be seen on the surface where the enzyme was adsorbed from 50 nM GOx in water.
