An amperometric biosensor for the detection of cellobiose has been introduced to study the kinetics of enzymatic hydrolysis of crystalline cellulose by cellobiohydrolase. By use of a sensor in which pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase was immobilized on the surface of electrode, direct and continuous observation of the hydrolysis can be achieved even in a thick cellulose suspension. The steady-state rate of the hydrolysis increased with increasing concentrations of the enzyme to approach a saturation value and was proportional to the amount of the substrate. The experimental results can be explained well by the rate equations derived from a three-step mechanism consisting of. the adsorption of the free enzyme onto the surface of the substrate, the reaction of the adsorbed enzyme with the substrate, and the liberation of the product. The catalytic constant of the adsorbed enzyme was determined to be 0.044 +/- 0.011 s(-1). (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
