Immobilization of uricase onto graphene oxide by Sidek, Nur Amirah

“…Immobilization of uricase onto graphene oxide was done by using two different methods, physical adsorption and also chemical modification of the surface of graphene oxide by using N’-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) as cross-linkers. Graphene oxide is proved to be an excellent carrier for uricase immobilization due to it having a large surface area and abundant functional groups. …”

Bismuth oxide nanoparticles/chitosan/modified electrode as biosensor for DNA hybridization. by Taufik, Safura, Yusof, Nor Azah, Tan, Wee Tee, Ramli, Irmawati

“…The nano Bi2O3/chitosan-modified gold electrode (AuE) was fabricated and oligonucleotides were immobilized onto the AuE surface with the use of activating reagents – water soluble 1-ethyl-3(3’-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxy sulfosuccinimide (NHS). Hybridization was induced by exposure of the ssDNA-containing AuE to complementary target DNA in solution. …”

Immobilization of a model protein, BSA onto graphene oxide by Abdul Halim, C.R.A. Wahida Fazlina

“…Two different methods have been used in order to immobilize this protein, the first method for immobilization is by physical adsorption and the second method is by chemical modification of GO using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride-N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC-NHS) as the crosslinker. The aim is for potential development of a GO-based immunoassay and to choose the best method to be used to immobilize BSA protein onto GO. …”
