Bioelectrocatalytic detection of theophylline at theophylline oxidase electrodes

Ferapontova, Elena E. ; Shipovskov, Stepan and Gorton, Lo LU (2007) In Biosensors & Bioelectronics 22(11). p.2508-2515
Abstract
Bioelectrocatalytic oxidation of theophylline was studied at gold and graphite electrodes modified with microbial theophylline oxidase (ThOx), a multi-cofactor redox enzyme capable of selective oxidation of theophylline. Gold electrodes were additionally modified with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of (-OH)- and (-NH2)-terminated alkanethiols of different chain lengths, to achieve compatibility between ThOx and the electrode surface. On graphite, ThOx was either physically co-adsorbed with a surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB), or entrapped within an Os-redox-polymer film. At all electrodes, ThOx was bioelectrocatalytically active; direct electrochemistry of ThOx in the absence of theophylline was followed only at the... (More)

On graphite, ThOx was either physically co-adsorbed with a surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB), or entrapped within an Os-redox-polymer film. At all electrodes, ThOx was bioelectrocatalytically active; direct electrochemistry of ThOx in the absence of theophylline was followed only at the SAM-modified gold electrodes. Direct electrochemistry of ThOx correlated with redox transformations of the heme domain of ThOx, with a E-o/ of - 110 +/- 2 mV versus Ag vertical bar AgCl, at pH 7. Bioelectrocatalytic oxidation of theophylline was optimal at mixed (-OH)/(-NH2)-terminated SAMs; co-adsorption of ThOx with DDAB improved the bioelectrocatalytic performance of the ThOx-electrode. In both cases, the response to theophylline was within the mM range. Alternatively, a reagentless ThOx-electrode based on ThOx cross-linked within the Os-redox-polymer matrix demonstrated a linear response to theophylline within the physiologically important 0.02-0.6 mM (3.6-72 mg I-1) concentration range with a sensitivity of 52.1 +/- 7.8 mA cm(-2) m(-1).
