Abstract
In this article, we explore the Raman characteristics and the electrochemical response of SWCNT-metalloporphyrins
biohybrids. The immobilization of metalloporphyrins on the SWCNT surface has proven to result in novel electron donor–
acceptor biohybrid structure with a good selectivity for neurotransmitters. SWCNT and porphyrin functionalization of goldbased screen-printed electrodes allows tailoring of the original sensing characteristics by decreasing the oxidation potential
and lowering concentration limits, properties that can further be employed in the diagnosis of neurotransmitter-associated
diseases. It is shown that only a specific Zn-porphyrin-SWCNT couple is appropriate for an electrochemically sensitive
response when they are immobilized on gold screen-printed electrodes (Au-SPE).
