Mathematical modelling of biosensors with substrate and product degeneration

Abstract

This paper presents a one-dimensional-in-space mathematical model of the amperometric biosensors with substrate and product degeneration. The model is based on diffusion equations containing a non-linear term related to Michaelis-Menten kinetics of the enzymatic reactions. It was analyzed effect of substrate and product degeneration for the biosensors response.
