Abstract
A highly sensitive competitive capacitive glucose biosensor was constructed based on gold nanoparticles, which were employed as a platform to immobilize concanavalin A (Con A). Gold nanoparticles were fixed on a gold electrode, on which a layer of polytyramine was preformed via electrochemical polymerization. The sensing mechanism is based on the competitive dissociation of a glucose polymer or a glycoconjugate from the glycoligand binding sites of immobilized Con A by the added glucose. To further improve the sensor response, several glucose polymers as well as a synthesized glycoconjugate using the periodate method, were screened. Consequently, dextran (MW 39 kDa) was selected and the feasibility of the proposed biosensor was evaluated... (More)

The sensing mechanism is based on the competitive dissociation of a glucose polymer or a glycoconjugate from the glycoligand binding sites of immobilized Con A by the added glucose. To further improve the sensor response, several glucose polymers as well as a synthesized glycoconjugate using the periodate method, were screened. Consequently, dextran (MW 39 kDa) was selected and the feasibility of the proposed biosensor was evaluated for a competitive assay of glucose. Experimental results show that the biosensor responded linearly to glucose in the range from 1.0 x 10(-6) to 1.0 x 10(-2) M, corresponding to 0.18 microg mL(-1) to 1.8 mg mL(-1) of glucose with a detection limit of 1.0 x 10(-6) M under optimized conditions. The studied biosensor exhibited a response time of about 15 min and a neglectable loss in sensitivity after 10 repeated analytical cycles. (Less)
