Application

Creatinine Deiminase microbial has been used:
  • to immobilize aminosilylated glass beads based biosensor for ammonia/ammonium and creatinine detection in urine
  • in creating creatinine-sensing membrane for biophysical studies
  • to investigate the bioelectronic tongue for the simultaneous determination of urea, creatinine and alkaline ions in clinical samples

Creatinine deiminase has been used in a study to assess the application of a creatinine-sensitive biosensor for hemodialysis control. Creatinine deiminase has also been used in a study to investigate the bioelectronic tongue for the simultaneous determination of urea, creatinine and alkaline ions in clinical samples.

A precise and sensitive working microflow titration procedure was developed to determine creatinine and ammonia in urine samples. This procedure is based on enzymatic conversion of creatinine, gas diffusional membrane separation of the released ammonia into an acid acceptor stream

Creatinine iminohydrolase (EC 3.5.4.21) quantitatively releases ammonia from flucytosine (5FC) as well as from creatinine. Using 39 sera from eight patients receiving the combination of amphotericin B with 5FC, we demonstrated that this rapid enzymatic reaction provides a valid measure

Urea and creatinine biosensors based on urease and creatinine deiminase, respectively, covalently immobilized onto ammonium selective electrodes, were included in an array together with sensors sensitive to ammonium, potassium and sodium. Generic sensors to alkaline ions were also included. All

We developed an enzymatic method for determination of 5-fluorocytosine in serum, using creatine iminohydrolase (EC 3.5.4.21), the Cobas-Bio analyzer, and an extant ammonia method. Analytical recovery (y) of drug added to serum (x) was good, with y = 0.97x-0.7, Sy.x

In order to utilize different nitrogen sources and to survive situations of nitrogen limitation, microorganisms have developed several mechanisms to adapt their metabolism to changes in the nitrogen supply. In this communication, the use of creatinine as an alternative nitrogen
