Popis: A stable organic charge-transfer-complex (CTC) electrode for the direct oxidation of flavoproteins has been constructed and the mode of electron transfer is described. Tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TTF-TCNQ) is grown at the surface of a shapable electroconductive (SEC) film (a polyanion-doped polypyrrole film) in such a way that it makes a tree-shaped crystal structure standing vertically on the surface. Glucose oxidase (GOD) is adsorbed and cross-linked under dry conditions with glutaraldehyde to fix direct electron transfer between the active center of the enzyme and the crystal electrode takes place, which leads to a glucose sensor with remarkably improved performance. The kinetic parameters of the GOD/CTC/SEC electrode are reported. A mechanism of direct electron transfer is proposed.
