General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency and waste prevention when used in biofuel cell research. For more information see the article in biofiles.

Application

Glucose dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas sp. has been used for the oxidation of glucose as a part of flow-injection analysis detection. It has also been used to regenerate the consumed nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) during the removal of pyruvate by lactate dehydrogenase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

In bacteria, the membrane integrated glucose dehydrogenase catalyses the conversion of glucose to gluconic acid. It uses pyrroloquinoline quinone as a coenzyme. The intracellular glucose dehydrogenase lack this cofactor. It is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) dependent enzyme.

Unit Definition

One unit corresponds to the amount of enzyme which will oxidizes 1 μmole β-D-glucose to D-glucono-δ-lactone per minute at pH 8.0 and 37 °C

Amperometric glucose biosensors utilizing commercially available FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenases from two strains of Aspergillus species are described. Enzymes were immobilized on nanocomposite electrode consisting of multi-walled carbon nanotubes by entrapment between chitosan layers. Unlike the common glucose oxidase based biosensor

The use of enzymes in industrial applications is limited by their instability, cost and difficulty in their recovery and re-use. Immobilisation is a technique which has been shown to alleviate these limitations in biocatalysis. Here we describe the immobilisation of
