A novel hydrogen peroxide biosensor has been fabricated based on covalently linked horseradish peroxidase (HRP) onto Lglutathione self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The SAMs-based electrode was characterized by electrochemical methods, and direct electrochemistry of HRP can be achieved with formal potential of-0.242 V (vs. saturated Ag/AgCl) in pH7 phosphate buffer solution (PBS), the redox peak current is linear to scan rate and rate constant can be calculated to be 0.042 s-1. The HRP-SAMs-based biosensors show its better electrocatalysis to hydrogen peroxide in the concentration range of 1 × 10-6 mol/L to 1.2 × 10-3 mol/L with a detection limit of 4 × 10-7 mol/L. The apparent Michealis-Menten constant is 3.12 mmol/L. The biosensor can effectively eliminate the interferences of dopamine, ascorbic acid, uric acid, catechol and p-acetaminophen.
