Title: | Horseradish peroxidase biosensor to detect zinc ions in aqueous solutions. | Authors: | Moyo, Mambo | Keywords: | Horseradish peroxidase, maize tassel, multiwalled carbon nanotubes, metal biosensor, Zn2+. | Issue Date: | 2014 | Series/Report no.: | Open Journal of Applied Biosensor;Vol.3 ; p1-7 | Abstract: | Maize tassel-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MT-MWCNT) composite has been used as a matrix for physical adsorption of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode through electrostatic interactions. The HRP/MT-MWCNT biosensor was applied for the detection of Zn2+ in aqueous solution. The biosensor designed was able to determine Zn2+ in the range of 0.35 -12 mg/L with a detection limit of 7.5 pg/L. The inhibition was found to be reversible and uncompetitive when data were modeled using the Dixon and Cornish-Bowden plots. The biosensor was found to have good repeatability, reproducibility and high selectivity. The developed biosensor can be used to detect other HRP inhibiting trace metal ions. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/11408/1180 |
