The use of several designs of amperometric enzymatic biosensors based on the immobilized tyrosinase enzyme (Tyr) for determining dichlorvos organophosphate pesticide are described. The biosensors are based on the reversible inhibition of the enzyme and the chronocoulometric measurement of the charge due to the charge-transfer mediator 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate (NQS). Tyr becomes active when reducing the quinone form of the mediator molecule (NQS) to the reactive o-diol form substrate of Tyr (H2NQS) at the working electrode, thus permitting modulation of the catalytic activity of the enzyme and measurement of the inhibition produced by the pesticide. The full activity of the enzyme reversibly recovers after removal of the pesticide and re-oxidation of H2NQS.Tyr was immobilized onto electrodes using different procedures: (i) entrapment within electropolymerized conducting and non-conducting polymers, (ii) covalent attachment to self-assembled monolayers (SAM), (iii) cross-linking with glutaraldehyde (and nafion covering) and (iv) dispersion within carbon-paste electrodes. The mediator was co-immobilized onto the working electrode next to the enzyme and reagentless biosensors were subsequently constructed. In the SAM design (ii) NQS was added to the solution. The analytical properties of the different biosensors based on the competitive inhibition produced by dichlorvos were then compared. A detection limit of about 0.06 μM was obtained for dichlorvos with entrapment of NQS and Tyr within electropolymerized poly(o-phenylenediamine) polymer (oPPD), which was the design that proved to have the best analytical performance.
