Abstract
The entrapment of galactose oxidase (GAO) on an electrode surface by coadsorption with a cationic amphiphilic pyrrole and electropolymerization of this pyrrole monomer is described. This simple and rapid procedure for biosensor construction provides very fast responsive and sensitive GAO-based sensors to galactose and lactose. The electrode response is based on the electrochemical detection of enzymically generated hydrogen peroxide. The stability, optimum pH and selectivity of the bioelectrode as well as the characteristics of the immobilized galactose oxidase have been determined. Poly(amphiphilic pyrrole) films have been electrogenerated on the surface of the bioelectrode and the effect of such additional coatings on the biosensor selectivity have also been examined.Keywords
