Polymer membrane electrodes operated by pulsed chronopotentiometry have recently been introduced to replace traditional ion-selective electrodes for a number of applications. While ion-selective electrodes for the polycation protamine have been reported, for instance, a pulsed chronopotentiometric readout mode (called here pulstrode) provides improved stability and reproducibility while exhibiting sufficient selectivity for the direct detection of protamine in undiluted whole blood samples. Here, such protamine-sensitive pulstrodes are applied for the real-time detection of the activity of the protease trypsin and its soybean inhibitor. This is possible because small fragments produced by the trypsin digestion are not detectable by the protamine-sensing membrane. The real-time response to the proteolytic reaction is shown to exhibit good reproducibility and reversibility, and the initial reaction rate is dependent on the concentration of the protease and its inhibitor.
