Gold electrodes were modified through chemisorption of5-(octyldithio)-2-nitrobenzoic acid (ODTNB). ODTNB includes a long chain in a short-length thio acid, providinga heterogeneous-like alkanethiol layer after adsorption ongold electrodes. Membrane-bound enzymes, in particularD-fructose dehydrogenase (FDH), D-gluconate dehydrogenase (GADH), and L-lactic dehydrogenase (cytochromeb2) (Cyb2), were immobilized onto ODTNB-modified goldelectrodes simply by adsorption. The short-length thioacid may provide electrostatic interactions with enzymesurface charges, while the alkanethiolate enables hydrophobic interaction with the largely lipophilic, membrane-bound enzymes. The immobilization of FDH, GADH, andCyb2 onto ODTNB-modified gold surfaces has been studied with the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Spectrophotometric and electrochemical assays indicate that theimmobilized enzyme retains its enzymatic activity afterimmobilization onto the ODTNB-modified gold surface.The amount of immobilized (and active) enzyme wasestimated from QCM to be of the order of 2.5 × 10-12-5.3 × 10-12 mol·cm-2. A fructose biosensor was developed, making use of a gold surface modified with ODTNBand fructose dehydrogenase, employing hydroxymethylferrocene as a mediator in solution. Calibration curvesexhibited a linear relation between the biosensor responseand the substrate concentration up to 0.7 mM. Statisticalanalysis gave an excellent linear correlation (r = 0.9993)and a sensitivity of 6.1 mM-1 fructose. The biosensorshows a significant stable catalytic current for at least 25days.
