A new kind of gold nanoparticles/self-doped polyaniline nanofibers (Au/SPAN) with grooves has been prepared for the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on the surface of glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The ratio of gold in the composite nanofibers was up to 64%, which could promote the conductivity and biocompatibility of SPAN and increase the immobilized amount of HRP molecules greatly. The electrode exhibits enhanced electrocatalytic activity in the reduction of H2O2 in the presence of the mediator hydroquinone (HQ). The effects of concentration of HQ solution pH and the working potential on the current response of the modified electrode toward H2O2 were optimized to obtain the maximal sensitivity. The proposed biosensor exhibited a good linear response in the range from 10 to 2000 mu M with a detection limit of 1.6 mu M (S/N = 3) under the optimum conditions. The response showed Michaelis-Menten behavior at larger H2O2 concentrations, and the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant K-m was estimated to be 2.21 mM. The detection of H2O2 concentration in real sample showed acceptable accuracy with the traditional potassium permanganate titration. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
