The synthesis and electropolymerization of a pyrrolic concanavalin A derivative (pyrrole‐Con A) onto a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) deposit is reported. Glucose oxidase was then immobilized onto the MWCNT‐poly(pyrrole‐Con A) coating by affinity carbohydrate interactions with the polymerized Con A protein. The resulting enzyme electrode was applied to the amperometric detection of glucose exhibiting a high sensitivity of 36 mA cm −2  mol −1  L and a maximum current density of 350 μA cm −2 .
