Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) biosensor is one of the most developing sensors because this kind of sensors is highly selective and responds quickly to the specific substrate. Hemoglobin (Hb) has been used as ideal biomolecules to construct hydrogen peroxide biosensors because of their high selectivity to $H_2O_2$. The direct electron transfer of Hb has widely investigated for application in the determination of $H_2O_2$ because of its simplicity, high selectivity and intrinsic sensitivity. An electrochemical detection for hydrogen peroxide was investigated based on immobilization of hemoglobin on DNA/Fe(pyterpy)$^{2+}$ modified gold electrode. The pyterpy monolayers were firstly an electron deposition onto the gold electrode surface of the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). It is offered a template to attach negatively charged DNA. The fabrication process of the electrode was verified by quartz crystal analyzer (QCA). The experimental parameters such as pH, applied potential and amperometric response were evaluated and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, this sensor shows the linear response within the range between $3.0{\times}10^{-6}$ to $9.0{|times}10^{-4}$ M concentrations of $H_2O_2$. The detection limit was determined to be $9{\times}10^{-7}$ M (based on the S/N=3).
