Abstract: Taking advantage of the excellent catalytic redox activity andthe electrochemical property of DNAzyme and carbon nanotubes, a novel nano-complex of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNTs)/DNAzyme was prepared, and the obtained nano-complex was finally immobilized on the surface of glass carbon electrode(GCE) with the assistance of chitosan to fabricate electrochemical biosensing interface. The catalytic property of the SWNTs/DNAzyme complex was explored, and a glucose oxidase biosensor was then prepared based on the fabricated electrochemical biosensing platform. The SWNTs/DNAzyme complex-based biosensing platform can direct response to hydrogen peroxide at low potential of -0.24 V with high sensitivity(the detection limit is 1?10-6 mol/L) and wide linear range(5?10-6-1?10-2 mol/L), and the prepared glucose oxidase biosensor was used to fast and sensitive detection of glucose.
