In this study, a rapid, sensitive, and simple electrochemical biosensor (H-UOX/Ni-MOF/CPE) for UA detection was constructed by using the affinity between Ni and poly-histidine tags of recombinant urate oxidase and Ni-MOF for enzyme immobilization. The biosensor showed a short response time, linear response within a wide concentration range, and good stability and selectivity for UA detection.
In a new approach, we considered the special affinity between Ni and poly-histidine tags of recombinant urate oxidase to utilize Ni-MOF for immobilizing the enzyme. In this study, a carbon paste electrode (CPE) was modified by histidine-tailed urate oxidase (H-UOX) and nickel-metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) to construct H-UOX/Ni-MOF/CPE, which is a rapid, sensitive, and simple electrochemical biosensor for UA detection. The use of carboxy-terminal histidine-tailed urate oxidase in the construction of the electrode allows the urate oxidase enzyme to be positioned correctly in the electrode. This, in turn, enhances the efficiency of the biosensor. Characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). At optimum conditions, the biosensor provided a short response time, linear response within 0.3-10 mu M and 10-140 mu M for UA with a detection limit of 0.084 mu M, repeatability of 3.06%, and reproducibility of 4.9%. Furthermore, the biosensor revealed acceptable stability and selectivity of UA detection in the presence of the commonly coexisted ascorbic acid, dopamine, L-cysteine, urea, and glucose. The detection potential was at 0.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl.
