An enzyme electrode was constructed from an oxygen electrode and a layer incorporating four enzyme systems for the sensitive determination of ADP and ATP. The cofactor is cycled between pyruvate kinase and hexokinase under formation of pyruvate which is detected by the coimmobilized, sequentially acting enzymes lactate dehydrogenase and lactate monooxygenase. The enzymatic recycling results in a 220-fold increased sensitivity to ADP compared to the unamplified reaction.
