✦ Synopsis


A peroxidase was extracted from Chinese soybean seed coat, and its thermostability and acid-stability were characterized. This peroxidase was immobilized into a self-gelatinizable grafting copolymer of polyvinyl alcohol with 4-vinylpyridine (PVA-g-PVP) to construct an acidstable hydrogen peroxide biosensor. The effect of pH was studied for optimum analytical performances by amperometric and spectrophotometric methods, also the K m app and the stability of the soybean peroxidase-based biosensor are discussed. At pH 3.0, the soybean peroxidase maintained its bioactivity and the enzyme electrode had a linear range from 0.01 to 6.2 mM with a detection limit of 1.0610 77 M. In addition, the main characteristics of different hydrogen peroxide sensors were compared.
