Enzyme based bioelectronics have attracted increasing interest in recent years because of their applications on biomedical research and healthcare. They also have broad applications in environmental monitoring, and as the power source for portable electronic devices. In this review, the technology developed for fabrication of enzyme electrodes has been described. Different enzyme immobilisation...

We have combined the principles of microwave circuitry and antenna design and our recent work in microwave-triggered metal-enhanced chemiluminescence to now "trigger" chemically and enzyme-catalyzed chemiluminescent reactions with spatial and temporal control. With this technology platform, we achieve spatial and temporal control of enzyme and chemically catalyzed chemiluminescence reactions to...

Enzyme-based biofuel cells possess several positive attributes for energy conversion, including renewable catalysts, flexibility of fuels (including renewables), and the ability to operate at room temperature. However, enzyme-based biofuel cells remain limited by short lifetimes, low power densities and inefficient oxidation of fuels. Recent advances in biofuel cell technology have addressed th...

Microreaction technology, which is an interdisciplinary science and engineering area, has been the focus of different fields of research in the past few years. Several microreactors have been developed. Enzymes are a type of catalyst, which are useful in the production of substance in an environmentally friendly way, and they also have high potential for analytical applications. However, not ma...

The enzyme-linked probe hybridization chip utilizes a method based on ligase-hybridizing probe chip technology, with the principle of using thio-primers for protection against enzyme digestion, and using lambda DNA exonuclease to cut multiple PCR products obtained from the sample being tested into single-strand chains for hybridization. The 5'-end amino-labeled probe was fixed onto the aldehyde...

Abstract Enzymes, the driving biocatalysts in living organisms, are typically not suited for large-scale industrial use. In last decade, enzyme engineering has evolved into key technology to design tailor-made enzymes chemical and pharmaceutical applications. We highlight current trends biocatalysis based on outstanding examples from industry.

Oilseeds are crucial for the nutritional security of the global population. The conventional technology used for oil extraction from oilseeds is by solvent extraction. In solvent extraction, n-hexane is used as a solvent for its attributes such as simple recovery, non-polar nature, low latent heat of vaporization (330 kJ/kg) and high selectivity to solvents. However, usage of hexane as a solven...

The synthesis of many chemicals needs high temperature and pressure. Many chemicals like ethanol, amino acids, citric acids, nitrates, nitrites, fine chemicals, essential compounds can be synthesized by biological pathways. Enzyme catalyzed reactions provide huge boost to the efforts concentrated on cost effective and environment friendly technology. Immobilization of enzyme has advantages such...

This applicable research has successful selected enzyme Ctec2 from Novozyme (Denmark) which gave the best cellulose degradation activity compared to the other enzymes. At optimum conditions of 50 o C, pH=5 and ratio between enzyme and substrate (E/S) being 0.40%, 0.45%, 0.50%, the time needed to substrate degrade was 60 hours. Based on this finding, a new cotton waste composting technology for ...
