    Abstract:
    Direct electrochemical behavior of lactoperoxidase(LPO) was firstly obtained by employing a concanavalin A(Con A) and lactoperoxidase co-modified gold electrode.Then the electrocatalytic activity of LPO toward hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) and the influence of nitric oxide(NO) on the electrocatalytic activity of LPO were investigated.With the aid of Con A,LPO displayed a pair of quasi-reversible redox peaks in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer solution with a formal redox potential of-190 mV in cyclic voltammogram(CV) and showed typical thin-layer electrochemical behavior.The co-modified electrode exhibited electrocatalytic activity toward the reduction of H2O2,which was utilized to fabricate a H2O2 biosensor with the detection range of 2.0×10-5-4.0×10-3 mol/L.The experimental result also proved that NO showed a suppressive effect on the reduction of H2O2 at the concentration of micro-molar level.

    Electron transfer of a redox protein at a bare gold electrode is too slow to observe the redox peaks. A novel Nafion-riboflavin functional membrane was constructed during this study and electron transfer of cytochrome c, superoxide dismutase, and hemoglobin were carried out on the functional membrane-modified gold electrode with good stability and repeatability. The immobilized protein-modified electrodes showed quasireversible electrochemical redox behaviors with formal potentials of 0.150, 0.175, and 0.202 V versus Ag/AgCl for the cytochrome c, superoxide dismutase and hemoglobin, respectively. Whole experiment was carried out in the 50 mM MOPS buffer solution with pH 6.0 at 25 oC. For the immobilized protein, the cathodic transfer coefficients were 0.67, 0.68 and 0.67 and electron transfer-rate constants were evaluated to be 2.25, 2.23 and 2.5 s?1, respectively. Hydrogen peroxide concentration was measured by the peroxidase activity of hemoglobin and our experiment revealed that the enzyme was fully functional while immobilized on the Nafion-riboflavin membrane.

    The lectin protein concanavalin A (Con A) and the glycoenzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were assembled into {Con A/HRP}n layer-by-layer films on electrodes mainly by biospecific affinity between them. The cyclic voltammetric (CV) response of ferricyanide (Fe(CN)63−) at {Con A/HRP}n film electrodes was very sensitive to the environmental pH. The peak currents of Fe(CN)63− were quite large at pH 4.0 but greatly suppressed at pH 9.0, demonstrating reversible pH-sensitive "on−off" behavior. This property could be used to realize pH-controlled electrochemical reduction of H2O2 catalyzed by HRP immobilized in {Con A/HRP}n films and mediated by Fe(CN)63− in solution. The modulation of the solution pH was also realized by in situ biochemical reactions with various enzymes in solution and was used to tune the pH-switchable bioelectrocatalysis. The possible mechanism of the pH-responsive on−off behavior of the films toward the probe was explored, and the electrostatic interaction between the films and the probe is believed to play a key role in deciding the pH-sensitive behavior of the films. This "smart" interface may be used to establish a foundation for fabricating novel pH-controllable electrochemical biosensors based on bioelectrocatalysis with immobilized enzymes.
