Cholesterol is an essential lipid which is found in cell membranes of animals, however its high accumulation in blood results in fatal diseases. On the other hand, hexacyanoferrates(III) of transition metals represent an interesting family with ability electrocatalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. In the present work, enzyme biosensors for cholesterol were prepared using a transduction platform constituted by a glassy carbon electrode modified with a novel Prussian-blue analogue contai...
