Abstract

An oxygen reducing electrode made of bilirubin oxidase and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (BOD-MWCNT-Au electrode) is coupled to enzymes catalysing oxygen-consuming reactions such as glucose oxidase (GOD) to result in a membrane-free bienzyme electrode. The feasibility of such a molecularly assembled system stabilized by covalent linkage has been demonstrated. The electrochemical characterisation of the bienzyme electrode reveals sensitivity to the enzyme substrate. The results indicate that the BOD-electrode provides a suitable platform for sensing analytes for which oxidases of high activity are available.
