An Acetylcholinesterase Biosensor Based on Platinum-Palladium Nanoparticles-Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Article Preview

Abstract:

A sensitive amperometric acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensor based on platinum-palladium nanoparticles (Pt-Pd NPs)-single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and chitosan (CS) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) is developed. The Pt-PdNPs-SWCNTs-CS nanocomposites offer an excellent electron conductivity, catalysis and hydrophilic surface for biomolecule adhesion. CS is used as a cross-linker to immobilize the AChE on the surface of Pt-PdNPs-SWCNTs-CS and as a protective membrane of the AChE biosensor. The biosensor shows favorable affinity to acetylthiocholine chloride. It exhibits good sensitivity, stability, reproducibility and low cost, thus providing a promising tool for analysis of enzyme inhibitors. More importantly, this study could provide a universal platform for meeting the demand of the effective immobilization enzyme on the electrode surface.
