The present work is the first that includes the use of glycine (Gly), lysine (Lys) and glutamic acid (Glu) modified clay mineral matrices in the biosensors. For this purpose, initially, Gly, Lys and Glu were intercalated with montmorillonite (Mt), thus, various modified Mts were obtained. These modified materials were then characterized via X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In order to investigate the applicability of amino acid modified clay minerals in biosensor areas, glucose oxidase (GOx) was selected as the model enzyme and a GOx based biosensor was prepared. After immobilizing the enzyme with amino acid modified Mt onto a glassy carbon electrode, working conditions like pH and modifier type were optimized. Among the modified Mts, Gly-Mt was the optimum clay mineral type and pH 4.0 …
