Electronic Supporting Information (ESI) Immobilization of Engineered Enzyme on Gold-Carbon Nanotubes

Immobilization Techniques in the Fabrication of Nanomaterial-Based Electrochemical Biosensors: A Review

The evolution of 1st to 3rd generation electrochemical biosensors reflects a simplification and enhancement of the transduction pathway. However, in recent years, modification of the transducer with nanomaterials has become increasingly studied and imparts many advantages. The sensitivity and overall performance of enzymatic biosensors has improved tremendously as a result of incorporating nano...

Immobilized enzyme–single-wall carbon nanotube composites for amperometric glucose detection at a very low applied potentialw

Electron transfer in biological systems is one of the leading areas in the biochemical and biophysical sciences, and in recent years there has been considerable interest in the direct electron transfer between redox proteins and electrode surfaces. However in the absence of mediating small molecules, the observation of well defined electrochemical behaviour of immobilized flavoprotein oxidase s...

Enhancement of lipase activity in non-aqueous media upon immobilization on multi-walled carbon nanotubes

BACKGROUND Immobilization of biologically active proteins on nanosized surfaces is a key process in bionanofabrication. Carbon nanotubes with their high surface areas, as well as useful electronic, thermal and mechanical properties, constitute important building blocks in the fabrication of novel functional materials. RESULTS Lipases from Candida rugosa (CRL) were found to be adsorbed on the ...

Carbon nanotubes as supports for inulinase immobilization.

The commercial inulinase obtained from Aspergillus niger was non-covalently immobilized on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-COOH). The immobilization conditions for the carbon nanotubes were defined by the central composite rotational design (CCRD). The effects of enzyme concentration (0.8%-1.7% v/v) and adsorbent:adsorbate ratio (1:460-1:175) on the enzyme immobilization were studied. The ad...
