Initially, the MAO-B enzyme was incorporated into liposomes in order to preserve its enzymatic structure ensuring their activity and catalytic stability. The LbL film growth was monitored by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) by gold resonance angle shift analysis after each bilayer deposition. Subsequently, the films were applied as amperometric biosensors for dopamine detection using Prussian Blue (PB) as the electron mediator. The biosensor fabricated by MAO-B incorporated into liposomes composed of DPPG:POPG in the ratio (1:4) (w/w) showed the best performance with a sensitivity of 0.86 (μA cm− 2)/(mmol L− 1) and a detection limit of 0.33 mmol L− 1.310-315engAmperometryDopamine detectionLayer-by-layerLiposomesMonoamine oxidase-bArtigo10.1016/j.msec.2015.08.042Acesso restrito26478315
