Fabrication of polyethyleneimine-functionalized reduced graphene oxide-hemin-bovine serum albumin (PEI-rGO-hemin-BSA) nanocomposites as peroxidase mimetics for the detection of multiple metabolites. Anal Chim Acta. 2019 Sep 06;1070:80-87 Authors: Zhang X, Yu Y, Shen J, Qi W, Wang H Abstract The ultrasensitive bioassays are increasingly demanded for disease diagnosis and environmental monitoring. The combined unique natures of the components in nanocomposites have led to their wide applications in bioanalysis. In the current study, a simple strategy for preparing polyethyleneimine-functionalized reduced graphene oxide-hemin-bovine serum albumin (PEI-rGO-Hemin-BSA) nanocomposites as peroxidase mimetics was demonstrated. The developed nanocomposites of PEI-rGO-Hemin-BSA showed an excellent peroxidase-like activity. Importantly, through the glutaradelhyde crosslinking, PEI-rGO-Hemin-BSA could be further simply combined with various oxidases such as glucose oxidase, cholesterol oxidase, lactate oxidase and choline oxidase for the detection and quantitative measurement of multiple metabolites including glucose, cholesterol, l-lactate, and choline. The developed detection strategy, which is sensitive, convenient, low-costed, and in tiny sample consumption, could be expected wide applications in the disease diagnosis and management of metabolite disorders.
