Laccases are polyphenol oxidases that exhibit broad substrate specificity.
A laccase from Bacillus sp. HR03 was immobilized on the carboxymethyl dextran chip.
The immobilization of laccase altered its substrate specificity toward phenolic substrate.
Atomic force microscopy revealed a uniform distribution of laccase over the sensor surface.
The results could lead to the utility of laccase in developing a specific phenolic biosensor.
