They perform crucial roles in various physiological processes and are frequently associated with stress responses, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. This research presents the fabrication of a novel amperometric biosensor designed to detect catecholamine levels with high specificity and sensitivity. The fabrication of the biosensor is based on the immobilization of synthesized cysteine functionalized laccase nanoparticles (Lac-NPs) onto the pencil graphite electrode (PGE). The successful synthesis of Lac-NPs, along with their immobilization and the fabrication of the Lac-NPs/PGE biosensor, was validated through various techniques, including Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR), UV–visible Spectroscopy, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Zeta potential, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The biosensor was optimized at various pH, temperature, scan rate and response times to ensure a high-performance sensor with rapid response times and stability for better detection. The Lac-NPs/PGE biosensor showed high sensitivity (2320.0 µA/mM cm<sup>2</sup>), a lower limit of detection (LOD) (0.12 µM), and a broad linear range (0.1–800.0 µM) with a coefficient of determination of R<sup>2</sup>= 0.999. In the analysis of real pharmaceutical samples of neurotransmitters, high recovery rates (94.0–99.0 %) have been attained. Superior analytical performance resulting from this simple fabrication process and cost-effective PGE shows this biosensor is a promising tool for the accurate and real-time monitoring of catecholamine levels, with potential applications in clinical diagnostics, neurobiology, and environmental analysis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biotechnology","volume":"404 ","pages":"Pages 152-161"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143891008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The production of gRNAs and donor DNA is further facilitated by using recombination cassettes generated through PCR with 40–60-mer oligos.
