Abstract
The peculiarities of glucose biosensors based on different generation of dendrimers (G0, G1 and G4) have been studied by amperometry and QCM techniques. It is shown that stable glucose biosensor can be obtained with low generation of dendrimers. The sensor sensitivity, however considerable, increased with increasing number of generation of dendrimers. This can be due to the increased volume of the dendrimer interior as well as with increased number of binding sites for glucose oxidase (GOX). QCM experiments showed that immobilization of GOX resulted in formation of enzyme multilayers on a dendrimer surface. The enzyme turnover for this system (0.1–0.01 s-1) was lower then that for immobilization of GOX onto a supported lipid films by means of avidin–biotin technology (1.1 s-1). However, dendrimer based biosensors are more stable in comparison with sBLM based sensors and could be stored in a refrigerator in dry conditions over 15 days without substantial loss of sensitivity.
