In this study, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and choline oxidase (ChO) were co-immobilized on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) membranes with the aim of using them in biosensor construction. pHEMA membranes were prepared with the addition of different salts in different HEMA : aqueous solution ratios and characterized in terms of porosity, thickness, permeability, and mechanical properties. Membranes prepared in the presence of SnCl4 were found to be superior in terms of porosity and permeability and were chosen as the immobilization matrix. Immobilization of the enzymes was achieved both by entrapment and surface attachment via epichlorohydrin (Epi) and Cibacron Blue F36A (CB) activation. The effect of immobilization on enzyme activity was evaluated by the comparison of K-m and V-max values for the free and immobilized bi-enzyme systems. The increase in K-m was negligible (1.08-fold) for the bi-enzyme system upon immobilization on surface but was 2.12-fold upon entrapment. Specific activity of the free enzyme system was found to be 0,306 mV s(-1) mug(-1) ChO while it was 0.069 (4.43-fold decrease) for entrapped and 0.198 (1.54 fold decrease) for CB-Epi immobilized enzymes. The performance of immobilized enzymes in different buffer types, pH, and temperature conditions were evaluated. The best enzyme activity was obtained at pH 9.0. Activity of the enzymes was found to increase with increasing temperature (in the range 25-40degreesC).

In this study, a novel amperometric glucose biosensor based on a selenium comprising conducting polymer and calixarene was developed. Firstly, poly(2-(2-octyldodecyl)-4,7-di(selenoph-2-yl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]-triazole), poly((SBTz)) was electrodeposited onto a graphite electrode by an electropolymerization technique. Then, a newly synthesized calixarene and gold nanoparticle (AuNP) mixture was used for the improvement of biosensor characteristics. GOx, as a model enzyme was immobilized on the modified electr...

Kok, FN; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2004-02-15)
In this study, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and choline oxidase (ChO) were co-immobilized on poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) membranes to construct a biosensor for the detection of anti-cholinesterase compounds. pHEMA membranes were prepared with the addition of SnCl4 to achieve the desired porosity. Immobilization of the enzymes was done by surface attachment via epichlorohydrin (Epi) and Cibacron Blue F3G-A (CB) activation. Enzyme immobilized membrane was used in the detection of anti-cholineste...
Construction of an acetylcholinesterase-choline oxidase biosensor for aldicarb determination
Kok, FN; Bozoglu, F; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2002-06-01)
In this study, acetylcholinesterase and choline oxidase were co-immobilized on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) membranes and the change in oxygen consumption upon aldicarb introduction was measured. Immobilization of the enzymes was achieved either by entrapment or by surface attachment via a hybrid immobilization method including epichlorohydrin and Cibacron Blue F36A activation. Immobilized enzymes had a long-storage stability (only 15% activity decrease in 2 months in wet storage and no activity loss i...
MATRIX ENTRAPMENT OF GLUCOSE-OXIDASE BY GAMMA-IRRADIATION
GURSEL, I; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (1992-01-01)
In this study, matrix entrapment of the enzyme glucose oxidase was achieved through gamma-irradiation of monomers N-vinyl pyrrolidone, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and their mixture. To test the effect of radiation on entrapment efficiency, retention of activities and properties of the system, duration and temperature were varied. The reusability of the resultant products was tested. It was generally found that inclusion of the hydrophilic monomer N-vinyl pyrrolidone into the matrix increased the water conte...
Preparation of Chitosan-Coated Magnetite Nanoparticles and Application for Immobilization of Laccase
Kalkan, Nuzhet Ayca; AKSOY, SERPİL; Aksoy, Eda Ayse; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2012-01-15)
In this study, immobilization of laccase (L) enzyme on magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nanoparticles was achieved, so that the immobilized enzyme could be used repeatedly. For this purpose, Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles were coated and functionalized with chitosan (CS) and laccase from Trametes versicolor was immobilized onto chitosan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe(3)O(4)-CS) by adsorption or covalent binding after activating the hydroxyl groups of chitosan with carbodiimide (EDAC) or cyanuric chloride (CC). For chitosa...
