Promotion effect by ε-poly-L-lysine on the enzymatic reaction of glucose oxidase with ferricyanide ion as an oxidant.

Promotion and suppression effects of cationic polymer ε-poly-L-lysine on the glucose oxidase reaction with ferrocene derivatives as oxidants with different charges.

The effects of the cationic polymer ε-poly-L-lysine (εPL) on the enzymatic reaction rate of glucose oxidase (GOD) with ferrocene derivatives having different ionic charges have been investigated by measuring the ferrocene derivative-mediated catalytic current of oxidation by GOD. When negatively charged ferrocenes were used, the bioelectrocatalytic current, which is related to the enzymatic rea...

Design and Fabrication of Glucose/O2 Enzymatic Biofuel Cell

Enzyme-based biofuel cells (EBFCs) are systems that use a variety of organic compounds to produce electricity through oxido-reductase enzymes, such as oxidase or dehydrogenase as biocatalysts immobilized on electrodes. In this study, a single-chamber EBFC consisting of carbon electrodes that operating at ambient temperature in phosphate buffer, pH 7 is reported. The EBFC anode was based on gluc...

Efficacy of ε-Poly-L-lysine as an Antibacterial Additive for Platelets Stored at Room Temperature

Enzymatic degradation of Poly (ε-Caprolactone) and Starch blends bontaining SiO2 nanoparticle by Amyloglucosidase and α-Amylase

The aims of the study were to investigate the effect of poly(ε -caprolactone) (PCL) and nano- SiO2 within the thermoplastic starch (TPS) blends on the rate and extent of starch enzymatic hydrolysis using enzymes α-amylase and amyloglucosidase. The results of this study have revealed that blends with nano-SiO2 content at 6 wt% exhibited a significantly reduced rate and exte...

A Simple Image Analysis Method for Determination of Glucose by using Glucose Oxidase CdTe/TGA Quantum Dots

Glucose, as the major energy source in cellular metabolism, plays an important role in the natural growth of cells. Herein, a simple, rapid and low-cost method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and CdTe/thioglycolic acid (TGA) quantum dots (QDs) on a thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate has been described. The detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzym...
