Abstract
Amperometric biosensors for the recognition of glucose oxidase (GOx) based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) have for the first time been fa bricated and are presented in this communication. This biosensor has potent ial applications for long-term glucose measurements, e.g., in the treatment of diabetes. The Figure shows the strong electrostatic binding of GOx to a matrix of PEDOT and poly(N-methyl-4-pyridine) (PMVP) (see also inside fron t cover).
