Cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) and cholesterol esterase (ChEt) have been covalently immobilized onto functionalized graphene (FG) modified graphite electrode. Enzymes modified electrodes were characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). FG accelerates the electron transfer from electrode surface to the immobilized ChOx, achieving the direct electrochemistry of ChOx. A well defined redox peak was observed, corresponding to the direct electron transfer of the FAD/FADH 2 of ChOx. The electron transfer coefficient (α) and electron transfer rate constant (K s ) were calculated and their values are found to be 0.31 and 0.78s −1 , respectively. For the free cholesterol determination, ChOx-FG/Gr electrode exhibits a sensitive response from 50 to 350μM (R=−0.9972) with a detection limit of 5μM. For total cholesterol determination, co-immobilization of ChEt and ChOx on modified electrode, i.e. (ChEt/ChOx)-FG/Gr electrode showed linear range from 50 to 300μM (R=−0.9982) with a detection limit of 15μM. Some common interferents like glucose, ascorbic acid and uric acid did not cause any interference, due to the use of a low operating potential. The FG/Gr electrode exhibits good electrocatalytic activity towards hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). A wide linear response to H 2 O 2 ranging from 0.5 to 7mM (R=−0.9967) with a sensitivity of 443.25μAmM −1 cm −2 has been obtained.
