    A new 3-dimensional (3D) network of crosslinked Horseradish Peroxidase/Carbon Nanotube (HRP/CNT) on a thiol-modified Au surface has been described in order to build up the effective electrical wiring of the enzyme units with the electrode. The synthesized 3D HRP/CNT network has been characterized with cyclic voltammetry and amperometry which results the establishment of direct electron transfer between the redox active unit of HRP and the Au surface. Electrochemical measurements reveal that the high biological activity and stability is exhibited by the immobilized HRP and a quasi-reversible redox peak of the redox centre of HRP was observed at about -0.355 and -0.275V vs. Ag/AgCl. The electron transfer rate constant, KSand electron transfer co-efficient α were found as 0.57s-1and 0.42, respectively. Excellent electrocatalytic activity for the reduction of H2O2was exhibited by the developed biosensor. The proposed biosensor modified with HRP/CNT 3D network displays a broader linear range and a lower detection limit for H2O2determination. The linear range is from 1.0×10-7to 1.2×10-4M with a detection limit of 2.2.0×10-8M at 3σ. The Michaelies-Menten constant Kapp M value is estimated to be 0.19mM. Moreover, this biosensor exhibits very high sensitivity, good reproducibility and long-time stability.
