Nanoparticles modified polystyrenes with some Furfural derivatives were synthesized by means of condensation and demonstrated to be a promising enzyme support by studying the enzymatic properties of glucose oxidase enzyme (GOx) immobilized on there. The characteristics of the immobilized glucose oxidase (APS-FurH)-GOx, (APS-FurCH3)-GOx, (APS-FurNO2)-GOx enzyme showed except one of them. The insertion of stabile (SchFur-NO2) spacers between polystyrene backbone and the immobilized GOx, (APS-Fur-SchNO2GOx), increases the enzymes’ activity and improves their affinity towards the substrate even at pH = 4, enzyme showed except one of them.
