A Ready-to-Use Metal-Supported Bilayer Lipid Membrane Biosensor for the Detection of Phenol in Water

This work presents a novel metal-supported bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) biosensor built on tyrosinase to quantitate phenol. The detection strategy is based on the enzyme–analyte initial association and not the commonly adopted monitoring of the redox cascade reactions; such an approach has not been...
