Gold nanoparticle (Au-NP) seeds were adsorbed onto the surface of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-modified electrode. With the treatment of this modified electrode by Au-NPs growth solution containing different concentrations of H2O2 or cholesterol along with cholesterol oxidase (ChOx), the Au-NP seeds on the electrode surface were enlarged in varying degrees. As a result, the peak currents in corresponding cyclic voltammograms were inversely proportional to the concentration of H2O2 or cholesterol. ChOx was also further modified onto the surface of Au/SAM/Au-NP electrode to prepare Au/SAM/Au-NP/ChOx electrode. Using the enzyme-modified electrode to detect cholesterol, which also utilized the enlargement of the NPs, an extraordinary low detection limit of 5 x 10(-9) M was achieved and two linear dependence ranges of 7.5 x 10(-8)-1 x 10(-6) and 1 x 10(-6)-5 x 10(-5) M were obtained. Consequently, new kinds of H2O2 and cholesterol biosensors could be fabricated.
