Abstract: A theoretical model for enzyme-entrapped conducting polymer modified electrodes is proposed and appropriate expressions are derived for the steady-state current response of the enzyme electrode. More attention has been paid to the role of conducting polymer in electron transfer and the effect of mass transport. On the basis of kinetic analysis, the performance and optimum design of the second and third generation enzyme electrodes are discussed.
