Abstract

The electrochemical behavior of biotin labeled with ferrocene was investigated at a perfluorosulfonated ionomer (Nafion®) film-coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The electrode response of the labeled biotin (LB) was improved by about fifty-fold in sensitivity by using a Nafion®-coated GCE, compared with a plain GCE. It was found by a solid-phase avidin-biotin binding assay that the labeling with ferrocene hardly affected the affinity of a biotin moiety in the labeled biotin to avidin. The avidin-biotin interaction was estimated from the change of the electrode response caused by the formation of a complex with avidin and the labeled biotin. Furthermore, the detection of biotin was performed by a competitive reaction between the labeled biotin and unlabeled biotin for the limited binding sites of avidin.
