This letter demonstrates that a novel, highly efficient enzyme electrode can be directly obtained using covalent attachment between carboxyl acid groups of graphene oxide sheets and amines of glucose oxidase. The resulting biosensor exhibits a broad linear range up to 28 mM x mm(-2) glucose with a sensitivity of 8.045 mA x cm(-2) x M(-1). The glucose oxidase-immobilized graphene oxide electrode...

In 1962, Clark and Lyons proposed incorporating the enzyme glucose oxidase in the construction of an electrochemical sensor for glucose in blood plasma. In their application, Clark and Lyons describe an electrode in which a membrane permeable to glucose traps a small volume of solution containing the enzyme adjacent to a pH electrode, and the presence of glucose is detected by the change in the...

Waves and patterns in living systems are often driven by biochemical reactions with enzymes as catalysts and regulators. We present a reaction-diffusion system catalyzed by the enzyme glucose oxidase that exhibits traveling wave patterns in a spatially extended medium. Fronts and pulses propagate as a result of the coupling between the enzyme-catalyzed autocatalytic production and diffusion of ...

Engineered biosynthetic pathways have the potential to produce high-value molecules from inexpensive feedstocks, but a key limitation is engineering enzymes with high activity and specificity for new reactions. Here, we developed a method for combining structure-based computational protein design with library-based enzyme screening, in which inter-residue correlations favored by the design are ...

Glucose oxidase (GOD, EC.1.1.3.4) specifically catalyzes the reaction of β-d-glucose to gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of oxygen, which has become widely used in the food industry, gluconic acid production and the feed industry. However, the poor thermostability of the current commercial GOD is a key limiting factor preventing its widespread application. In the present stud...

The demand for the amino acid l-cysteine is increasing in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Conventionally, commercial production of achieved by its extraction from hydrolysate hair feathers. However, this method associated with release environmentally hazardous wastewater. Additionally, produced animal sources cannot be halal-certified, which limits market size. Although recent st...

Glucose oxidase (E. C. 1.1.3.4) was immobilized on electrochemically modified graphite to obtain an enzyme electrode. The working surface of the electrode was coated with gelatine to prevent desorption of the enzyme. In substrate (glucose) solutions the amperometric signal of the enzyme electrode was due to the electroreduction of H202 generated in the enzyme layer. The linearity of the electro...

Clinical management of diabetes must overcome the challenge of in vivo glucose sensors exhibiting lifetimes of only a few days. Limited sensor life originates from compromised enzyme stability of the sensing enzyme. Sensing enzymes degrade in the presence of low molecular weight materials (LMWM) and hydrogen peroxide in vivo. Sensing enzymes could be made to withstand these degradative effects ...

Abstract In the work, possibility of using nanoparticles gold (AuNPs) to upgrade bioselective elements biosensors in order improve their analytical characteristics is considered. The based on acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyryl cholinesterase (BuChE) and glucose oxidase (GOD) were used as an experimental model. Immobilization enzymes surfaces conductometric transducers was performed by crossli...
