With an excellent electron-transfer ability of 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic acid functionalized multi walled carbon nanotubes (PTCA-MWCNTs), and successful maintenance of D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) activity by the protection of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and glycerol, a signal amplification biosensor for chiral recognition of D-alanine (D-Ala) has been designed. PTCA worked as redox probe due to its self-derived redox activity. The proposed biosensor was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). After the biosensor interacting with D-alanine and L-alanine respectively, a larger current response was obtained from D-alanine. The linear range of the biosensor under the optimum working conditions was investigated by current-time response in successive addition of D-Ala from 1.0 x 10(-8) to 1.0 x 10(-3) M with a lower detection limit of 3.3 x 10(-9) M (S/N = 3). Possible explanations for substrate specificity of the biosensor were discussed. This method showed high sensitivity and selectivity for chiral recognition of D-alanine. It also exhibited good stability, repeatability and reproducibility. The proposed biosensor was applied for real sample measurement. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
