The reconstitution of glucose oxidase on a flavin‐adenine‐dinucleotide (FAD)‐functionalized single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) associated with an Au electrode yields an electrically contacted biocatalyst (see picture). The efficiency of the electrical contact is controlled by the length of the SWCNT.
