Volume 61, no. 2, p. 419, column 1, lines 15-19: this sentence should read as follows. "The alcohol dehydrogenase and glucose dehydrogenase have a common region reported to be related to pyrroloquinoline quinone binding (2, 10), but SNDH does not contain such a region, indicating that SNDH is not a quinoprotein." Page 419, column 2, line 12: "(Table 4)" should read "(Table 3)." [This corrects t...

The activities of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), a coenzyme of methanol dehydrogenase and amine oxidase, and its reduced form pyrroloquinoline quinol (PQQH2) as an antioxidant have been measured in solution. PQQH2 was stable in the absence of oxygen but rapidly auto-oxidized to PQQ in the presence of oxygen in water. PQQH2 was stable in an aprotic solvent such as acetonitrile, even in air. PQQ...

In this study, multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were electrochemically modified with nitrogen and phosphorus species employed as platform to immobilize pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH) for the fabrication of bioelectrodes detection. Depending on upper potential limit used during electrochemical modification MWCNTs, nature amount incorporated in material sur...

Glucose dehydrogenase (GDH; EC 1.1. 5.2) is the member of quinoproteins group that use the redox cofactor pyrroloquinoline quinoine, calcium ions and glucose as substrate for its activity. In present study, Leclercia sp. QAU-66, isolated from rhizosphere of Vigna mungo, was characterized for phosphate solubilization and the role of GDH in plant growth promotion of Phaseolus vulgaris. The strain...

An enzymatic biofuel cell is integrated on a screen-printed electrode as basis for self-powered biosensor. A glucose/O2 consisting of pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase embedded within an Os-complex modified redox polymer bioanode to oxidize and non-limiting bilirubin oxidase-based gas diffusion biocathode in the direct-electron transfer regime reduction O2 showed glucose-...
