Penyakit Parkinson disebabkan oleh kerusakan neuron penghasil dopamin di batang otak, yang menyebabkan gejala khas seperti tremor, kekakuan otot, dan gangguan keseimbangan. Pembuatan biosensor untuk mendeteksi kadar dopamin menjadi upaya penting dalam deteksi dini dan pengobatan Parkinson. Pada penelitian ini amperometrik biosensor
screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) dimodifikasi dengan
reduced graphene oxide (rGO),
polypyrrole (PPy), dan
zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnO-NP). Hasil modifikasi dibandingkan dengan SPCE yang belum dimodifikasi dalam pendeteksian dopamin. Karakterisasi material dilakukan dengan menggunakan
scanning electron microscope (SEM),
fourier transform infrared (FTIR), dan
x-ray diffraction (XRD). Pengukuran elektrokimia dilakukan dengan metode
cyclic voltammetry (CV). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rGO/PPy/ZnO-NP/SPCE memiliki limit deteksi 0,0464 mM, sensitivitas sebesar 62,37 µA mM

Parkinson's disease is caused by damage to dopamine-producing neurons in the brainstem, which causes characteristic symptoms such as tremors, muscle rigidity and balance disturbances. Making a biosensor to detect dopamine levels is an important effort in the early detection and treatment of Parkinson's. In this study the amperometric biosensor screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was modified with reduced graphene oxide (rGO), polypyrrole (PPy), and zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnO-NP). Modified results were compared with unmodified SPCE in the detection of dopamine. Material characterization was carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and x-ray diffraction. Electrochemical measurements were carried out using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) method. The results showed that rGO/PPy/ZnO-NP/SPCE had a detection limit of 0.0464 mM, a sensitivity of 62.37 µA mM-1 cm-2 for a linear range of 0.01 – 1 mM.
