Electrogenerated PPy doped with pSA was used as a substrate for immobilization of GOD. This was achieved via covalent bonding of carboxyl groups of the main chain of alginate with amino groups of the enzyme. The pH-induced aggregation behavior of SA in aqueous solution was employed to provide optimum conditions for electrochemical preparation of PPy by galvanostatic methods. GOD was attached to...
