PLAsp is covalently attached to a gold electrode modified with a monolayer of 3-mercaptopropionic acid using carbodiimide coupling via an N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester intermediate. The acid side groups and deprotonated peptide nitrogens on two aspartate moieties are thought to be primarily responsible for chelation of Cu2+, which remains bound when reduced to Cu+. A consequence of the multiple binding points that are available with a polypeptide is the low detection limit. The lowest concentration detected was 3 nM (0.2 ppb) achieved with Osteryoung square wave voltammetry. This detection limit compares favourably with that of ICP-OES and previously reported cysteine-modified electrodes. Analysis of tap and lake water samples using the PLAsp-modified electrode agreed well with ICP-OES analysis of the same samples.
