Resum
Designing an electrochemical biosensor with the required features is a complex process involving multiple factors. For instance, nanocomposite materials used ensure the adaptation of the sensor to specific parameters on demand. But beyond making more versatile sensors, these materials likely offer excellent sensing platforms to mimic biological processes (e.g. cell communication) on the electrode surface. For this, developed methods are needed to integrate non-conductive nanoreactors for molecular communication into a biocompatible matrix on electrode surfaces with the request of spatially separated and controlled enzyme localization. Here, we present a novel reduced graphene oxide hybrid material to immobilize polymeric nanoreactors supported by an alginate network as a matrix on the electrode surface. The possibility of introducing cascade reactions in an electrochemical biosensor has the advantage of broadening the target substrates as well as their selectivity using enzymes in different nanocompartments (=compartmentalization). The polymeric vesicles allow the loading of enzymes or artificial enzymes, offering active center retention and long-term enzyme stability. Firstly, the inclusion of spatially separated polymeric active nanocompartments into the matrix on the electrode surface is used to monitor a simple enzyme reaction. However, the study’s accomplishment lies in its successful ability to monitor an enzyme cascade reaction, one producing and the other consuming hydrogen peroxide, hosting natural and artificial enzymes. This proof-of-concept generates an important contribution to the design of analytical platforms capable of detecting complex environments or even monitoring communication between cell-like structures, extremely useful for fields such as synthetic biology, biomimetics and advanced biosensors.
