Abstract In this work, the β-cyclodextrins (βCD) grafted on magnetite@polynorepinephrine (Fe 3 O 4 @PNE) nanomaterial with glucose oxidase (GOx) from Aspergillus niger was presented. The electroactive nanoplatform used to construct rapid response and long-live time biosensor for qualitative quantitative determination. deposited screen-printed electrode (SPE) integrated potentiostat in tandem a ...

Nitrogen-doped carbon dots are introduced as a novel substrate suitable for enzyme immobilization in electrochemical detection metods. Nitrogen-doped carbon dots are easily synthesised from polyacrylamide in just one step. With the help of the amino group on chitosan, glucose oxidase is immobilized on nitrogen-doped carbon dots-modified carbon glassy electrodes by amino-carboxyl reactions. The ...

Enzymes such as lactoperoxidase and glucose oxidase (GOx) are used as antimicrobial agents in oral care products. Their low specificities and substantiveness can be reduced by covalent coupling of antimicrobial molecules to antibodies. Variable domains (V(HH)) derived from llama heavy-chain antibodies are particularly suited for such an approach. The antibodies are composed solely of heavy-chai...

BACKGROUND In spite of its advantageous physiological properties for bioprocess applications, the use of the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus as a host for heterologous protein production has been very limited, in constrast to its close relative Kluyveromyces lactis. In the present work, the model protein glucose oxidase (GOX) from Aspergillus niger was cloned into K. marxianus CBS 6556 and into K...

Isoniazid (INH) is one of the first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. Its effect on oxidative stress, however, is unknown. Here we used a model of oxidative stress by employing glucose/glucose oxidase (GOx), which (based on the availability of glucose and oxygen) is known to produce H2O2. This reaction induces oxidative stress culminating in necrotic cell death in HL-60 cells (a human promyelocytic...

OBJECTIVE Development of electrochemical sensors for continuous glucose monitoring is currently hindered by a variety of problems associated with low selectivity, low sensitivity, narrow linearities, delayed response times, hysteresis, biofouling, and tissue inflammation. We present an optimized sensor architecture based on layer stratification, which provides solutions that help address the af...

The continuous measurement of uptake or release of biomarkers provides invaluable information for understanding and monitoring the metabolism of cells. In this work, a multiscattering-enhanced optical biosensor for the multiplexed, non-invasive, and continuous detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), lactate and glucose is presented. The sensing scheme is based on optical monitoring of the oxidat...

Plants exhibit remarkable plasticity in their ability to differentiate between herbivorous insect species and subtly adjust their defense responses to target distinct pests. One key mechanism used by plants to recognize herbivorous caterpillars is elicitors present in their oral secretions; however, these elicitors not only cause the induction of plant defenses but recent evidence suggests that...

The glucose oxidase (GOx) enzyme was immobilized on chitosan-based porous composite membranes using a covalent bond between GOx and the chitosan membrane. The chitosan-based porous membranes were prepared by the combination of the evaporation- and non-solvent-induced phase separation methods. To increase the membrane conductivity, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were added to the chitosan solution. The...

Photorespiration is essential for all organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis. The evolution of photorespiratory metabolism began among cyanobacteria and led to a highly compartmented pathway in plants. A molecular understanding of photorespiration in eukaryotic algae, such as glaucophytes, rhodophytes, and chlorophytes, is essential to unravel the evolution of this pathway. However, mecha...
