Özet

An alternative electrochemical method for the determination of proteolytic activity based on cyclic voltammetry of the electroactive probe ferricyanide (Fe(CN)(6)(3-)) on the gelatin film coated ITO electrodes was proposed. The gelatin film behaves as a kinetic barrier for Fe(CN)(6)(3-) and the proteolytic digestion of the gelatin film results an increase in the penetration of the Fe(CN)(6)(3-). Thus, by the change of peak potential in cyclic voltammogram of Fe(CN)(6)(3-), activity of the enzyme was determined.
