Significance Statement
Epoxides on graphene oxide (GO) modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) appear to be more electrochemically active than other functional groups in the oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride (NADH). This suggests that better NADH sensors can be designed by incorporating GO engineered with high epoxide content.
