Abstract

This manuscript investigates the limitations of enzyme–electrocatalyst coupling in one-step designed amperometric cholesterol biosensors. One-step electrodeposition from Pd-ChOx-Nafion electrolyte produces a bioinorganic hybrid sensing layer, while preserving the enzyme’s native conformation and biocatalytic activity. Despite structural coupling between Pd and ChOx, the amperometric response remains dominated by enzymatic H2O2 production, indicating that direct electronic communication between ChOx and the electrode is not established. More specifically, we show that direct electron transfer (DET) cannot occur even in ultrathin electrodeposited nanostructured films, likely due to oxygen-dominated electrochemistry. Furthermore, the sensitivity of cholesterol determination using Pd-NPs/ChOx/Nafion-modified electrodes was independent of layer thickness and architecture, highlighting the limitations of the Pd-NPs–enzyme interface. These findings provide mechanistic insight into ultrathin enzyme–electrocatalyst interfaces and are expected to impact the development of next-generation cholesterol biosensors.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
