▎ 摘  要

A simple method for interlocking glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase in a network of cellulose fibers coated with bovine serum albumin (BSA)-exfoliated graphene (biographene) is reported here. The resulting paper reactor is inexpensive and stable. Biographene is expected to function as an electron shuttle, making the reaction between the enzyme and the substrate more efficient, and this hypothesis is examined here. The BSA used to separate the sheets of graphene provides extra carboxylic acid groups and primary amines to help interlock the enzymes and the graphene in between the fibers. The decrease in entropy associated with interlocking the enzymes on a solid support is likely responsible for the increase in enzymatic stability/activity observed. Each cellulose disk contained 5.2mg of enzyme per gram of paper and 93% of the enzyme is retained after washing for 0.5-2h. This simple methodology provides a low cost, effective approach for achieving high enzymatic activity and good loadings on a benign, versatile support.
