Abstract
In this paper we show that hyperbranched polymers can be used as a host matrix for electrostatic entrapment of enzymes. Specifically, amine-functionalized glucose oxidase (GOx+) and horseradish peroxidase, as well as poly(amidoamine) dendrimer-modified horseradish peroxidase, reversibly sorb into polyanionic, hyperbranched poly(sodium acrylate) (PAA-) films that are on the order of a few hundred angstroms thick. The quantity of GOx+ entrapped within the PAA- films depends on the nature of film preparation but is typically on the order of 0.06 unit/cm2. The extent to which entrapped GOx+ retains its activity depends on the film history, but for PAA-/GOx+ composites not exposed to glucose and stored at 4 °C, the original activity is retained for up to 68 days and perhaps longer.Keywords
