ては様々な方式のものが提案されている。具体的には。- Research has been actively conducted on sensors that detect chemical substances using enzymatic reactions and fuel cells that convert chemical energy into electrical energy to generate electricity. Among them, various systems have been proposed for glucose sensors and sensors using glucose oxidase. in particular.

ータ−として酸化型レドックス化合物を用いると。There is a method of quantifying H and O□ produced by the reaction using a hydrogen peroxide electrode, and a method of quantifying consumed O2 using an oxygen electrode. However, these methods have the disadvantage that glucose cannot be accurately quantified unless there is sufficient dissolved oxygen. Therefore, even if there is not enough dissolved oxygen, an electron transfer substance (hereinafter referred to as a mediator) is used to transfer electrons between the oxidoreductase and the current collector, and an electrical signal is detected to quantify glucose. A method has been proposed. In this method, oxidized redox compounds such as ferrocene, benzoquinone, chloranil, and thionine are mainly used as mediators, but these low-molecular mediator substances are not sufficiently insoluble in water and therefore elute from the electrode. However, there is a problem that the sensitivity of the electrode gradually decreases. Furthermore, when constructing an enzyme electrode using an enzyme that oxidizes a substrate, an oxidized redox compound is used as a mediator of the enzyme.

な電流値が得られない場合がある。Since the oxidized state of oxidized redox compounds is thermodynamically stable, the reaction rate of the entire system depends on the reduction reaction of the mediator,
That is, the rate is determined by the electron acceptance reaction from the enzyme, and the electron acceptance reaction from the enzyme is not performed efficiently, so that a large current value may not be obtained.
本発明は、上記事情に鑑みなされたもので、要存酸素が

精度で安価な酵素電極を提供することを目的とする。The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and allows accurate quantitative determination of the substrate even when sufficient oxygen is not present, and the mediator substance is eluted from the electrode, reducing the sensitivity of the electrode. It is an object of the present invention to provide a highly accurate and inexpensive enzyme electrode that does not cause such problems and allows electron acceptance reactions from enzymes to be carried out efficiently to obtain a large current value.

Reduced redox compounds have very low solubility in water and are soluble in organic solvents. Electrodes are made by molding a composition consisting of a compound, a polymer compound, and a conductor such as carbon.

するものである。The enzyme electrode according to the present invention uses, as a mediator, a reduced redox compound such as phenothiazines and phenoxazines that is insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents, and the mediator is combined with an oxidoreductase. It allows electron transfer between an electric body and detects an electric signal to quantify the substrate.

られるものである。Note that the description of H+ movement has been omitted. ) Therefore, oxidized redox compounds have been mainly used as mediators for enzymes that oxidize substrates, such as glucose oxidase, but as mentioned above, oxidized redox compounds have thermodynamically stable oxidation states. Therefore, the reaction rate of the entire system is rate-limited by the reduction reaction of the mediator, that is, the electron acceptance reaction from the enzyme, and the equation (2) above.As a result, the electron acceptance reaction from the enzyme is not performed efficiently, and a large current value is not obtained. In contrast, the enzyme electrode of the present invention uses redox compounds that are stable in a reduced state as the mediator, and electrolytically oxidizes them by applying a potential higher than the redox potential of these redox compounds. Since the reaction rate is not rate-limited by the reduction reaction of the mediator, the electron acceptance reaction from the enzyme is carried out efficiently and a larger current value can be obtained.
