摘要

An amperometric biosensor for the determination of L-lysine based on L-lysine-α-oxidase immobilized by co-crosslinking on a platinum electrode previously modified by an overoxidized polypyrrole film is described. The optimization of experimental parameters, such as pH and flow rate, permitted to minimize significantly substrate interferences even using a low specific, commercial enzyme. The relevant biases introduced in the measurement of lysine were just about 1% for L-arginine, L-histidine and L-ornithine, roughly 4% for L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine. The developed approach allowed linear lysine responses from 0.02 mM up to 2 mM with a sensitivity of 41 nA/(mM × mm(2)) and a detection limit of 4 μM (S/N=3). No appreciable loss in lysine sensitivity was observed up to about 40 days. Allowing polypyrrole layer to remove interference from electroactive compounds, the present method revealed suitable to detect L-lysine in a pharmaceutical and cheese sample, showing a good agreement with the expected values.Copyright © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
