INACTIVE ENZYMES AS NON-CONSUMING SENSORS

摘要

Inactive enzymes such as apo-enzymes are used as non-consuming sensors, which bind with analytes without destroying the analytes. These sensors can be used in methods, assays or kits to measure analyte concentration. Inactive forms of various enzymes such as glucose oxidase, glucose dehydrogenase, or lactate dehydrogenase which binds to glucose or lactate can be used as biosensors of glucose or lactate.
