Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop cholesterol biosensor using synthesized reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) by modified Hummer’s method and reduced Graphene Oxide-Silver (rGO-Ag) nanocomposite had prepared by a simple chemical method. The rGO-Ag nanocomposite was synthesized in the presence of Silver Nitrate (AgNo3) and Sodium borohydride (NaBH4). The synthesized reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) and reduced Graphene Oxide–silver rGO-Ag nanocomposite were characterized by Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). Then the Cholesterol Oxidase (ChOx) enzyme is to be immobilized on rGO-Ag poly-pyrrole network. The rGO-Ag poly-pyrrole/ChOx enzyme is coated on electrode and its electrochemical studies are to be accomplished. The bioenzyme integrated nanostructure platform is very sensitive toward cholesterol and it has a fast response time.
