ABSTRACT

The enzymatic activities of glucose oxidase immobilized on multiwalled carbon nanotubes and on controlled pore glass were evaluated. The evaluation was performed by optimizing a system of sequential injection analysis with amperometric detection using a 3-mm glassy carbon electrode as the working electrode. Glucose oxidase was immobilized on polyaniline-multiwalled carbon nanotubes using glutaraldehyde as a reagent. Transmission electronic microscopy showed the coupling of polyaniline on the multiwalled carbon nanotubes and the coupling of the enzyme on the polyaniline-multiwalled carbon nanotubes. The optimum values to determine the enzymatic activity of glucose oxidase on both supports by sequential injection analysis were 1 mmol L−1 pH 6 phosphate buffer, 25°C, glucose injection volume of 10 µL, reaction flow rate of 0.16 mL/min, an enzymatic reactor of 1 cm length x 0.2 cm i.d., 35 U of immobilized enzyme, and 0.8 V as the applied potential. The results showed a conditional Michaeles-Menten constant () of 5.38 (±0.23) mmol L−1 for the glucose oxidase-polyaniline-multiwalled carbon nanotube reactor and 1.30 (±0.06) mmol L−1 for the glucose oxidase-controlled pore glass reactor. The conditional maximum velocities () were 2.42 (±0.8) and 2.06 (±0.06) produced H2O2 min−1, respectively. The results suggest that the enzyme is more exposed to the substrate when it is immobilized on controlled pore glass.
