Scientists from the Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) introduce an easy method for manufacturing biosensors made from electrospun polymers. By embedding enzymes inside the polymer string, the ...

Researchers have developed a new material that harnesses the power of enzymes more effectively. These materials have improved the reaction efficiency and long-term stability of enzymes in ...

Research aimed at teasing apart the workings of RNA enzymes eventually may lead to ways of monitoring fat metabolism and might even assist in the search for signs of life on Mars, according to ...

What happens here matters everywhere. BOT or NOT? This special series explores the evolving relationship between humans and machines, examining the ways that robots, artificial intelligence and ...

A novel concept for a biosensor of the metabolite known as lactate, combines an electron transporting polymer with lactate oxidase, which is the enzyme that specifically catalyzes the oxidation of ...

Researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) demonstrate an enzyme-based biosensor in the form of an electrospun polymer mesh that can detect volatile organic compounds, which may help ...

Redox enzymes are proteins that catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions, which involve the transfer of electrons between ...

Biosensors have extensive applications in the food and agriculture industries. The devices contain a transducer and a biological element, which may be an enzyme, antibody, microbe, or organelle. The ...

A multidisciplinary Brazilian research team has developed a biosensor to measure pesticide content on food produce, water and soil. The technology is in its development phase, but if developed into a ...
