[ 1 ] - Fructation Induces Hemin Degradation in Methemoglobin
Under prolonged diabetic conditions, HbA1c is produced from normal hemoglobin (HbA0) through a non-enzymatic glycosylation or glycation, a process which enhances the hemoglobin susceptibility to be auto-oxidized to methemoglobin (metHb). Here we are reporting that the non-enzymatic reaction between fructose and metHb (metHb fructation) induces significant changes in the gl...
[ 2 ] - A Conductometric Urea Biosensor by Direct Immobilization of Urease on Pt Electrode
Urease was immobilized on platinum electrode both by chemical binding and electropolymerization.The conductometric urea biosensor thus prepared showed a detection limit of 4.9×10-5 M and linear dynamic range from 4.9×10-5 to 5.8×10-3 M for urea concentration when the enzyme is covalently immobilized on Pt electrodes. Conductometric transducers respo...
[ 3 ] - Aggregation of adult and fetal hemoglobin by ingested nitrate anions
The ingested nitrates sourced from tap water, food, chemicals and pharmaceuticals areconverted to nitrites in the body surfaces by bacteria and then, the nitrite ions can lead thestructural changing in hemoglobin. In the present work, aggregation of the purified hemoglobinin adult (HbA) and in fetus or newborn (HbF) in the presence of nitrite ions were studied.Hemoglobin aggregation was perform...
[ 4 ] - Effect of membrane on power density of ethanol/O2 biofuel cell
A biofuel cell is a device for converting chemical energy to electrical energy by a simple way. A high-impact anode is prepared in this research. Here, carboxylated multiwall carbon nanotube (COOH-MWCNT), polydiallyldimethyl ammonium chloride (PDDA) and alcohol dehydrogenase were cast on modified glassy carbon with polymethylene green to construct the bioanode for ...
[ 5 ] - Effect of support on power output of ethanol/O2 biofuel cell
Enzymatic biofuel cells have many great usages as a small power source for medical and environmental applications. In this paper, we employed carboxylated multiwall carbon nanotube- (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethyl sulfonyl) imide) ionic liquid nanocomposite on two different electrodes (glassy carbon and carbon felt) for immobilizing alcohol dehydrogenase. The properties of the...
