Abstract

An unmediated NO biosensor was prepared by co-immobilizing haemoglobin with polyethyleneimine at a pyrolytic graphite electrode surface. Haemoglobin exhibits direct electrochemistry in the membrane, and this modified electrode shows high stability and catalytic activity towards the reduction of NO. A linear relationship between the catalytic current and the concentration of NO was observed in the concentration ranges 1.0×10<superscript>-7</superscript>–8.0×10<superscript>-6</superscript> M and 1.0×10<superscript>-5</superscript>–2.5×10<superscript>-5</superscript> M, with a detection limit of 4.0×10<superscript>-8</superscript> M.
