A one-step method to construct a third-generation biosensor based on horseradish peroxidase and gold nanoparticles embedded in silica sol–gel network on gold modified electrode
A one-step method for fabrication of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) biosensor has been developed. The gold nanoparticles and HRP were simultaneously embedded in silica sol–gel network on gold electrode surface in the presence of cysteine. The immobilized HRP exhibited direct electrochemical behavior toward the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. The heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant was evaluated to be 7.8
