The properties of glucose biosensors based on dendrimer layers on a gold support, which depend on the method of immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOX), were studied by amperometry. The kinetic parameters of enzymatic reactions, response time, sensitivity, detection limit, linear range, and enzyme turnover were determined. We showed that a more stable and sensitive sensor was obtained when GOX was immobilized on the dendrimer by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde in vacuum. This biosensor was stable for at least eight weeks. The response time was approximately 1.3 min, the detection limit of glucose was 25 micro M, and the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant was relative low ( K(m)=1.1+/-0.1 mM) in comparison with that for GOX in solution. The reason for these differences is discussed. The example of the application of the developed biosensors for the detection of mercury is also presented. The inhibitory effect of mercury on GOX activity was observed at mercury concentration of 100 nM.
