Flavin Mononucleotide-Dependent l-Lactate Dehydrogenases: Expanding the Toolbox of Enzymes for l-Lactate Biosensors
The study explain the advantages of LDH Lactazymes, especially those on flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-dependent L-lactate dehydrogenases for biosensor applications. It investigates seven newly discovered enzymes for L-lactate detection and compares their performance to Aerococcus viridans LOx. The research emphasizes enzyme diversity in biosensors, focusing on enhancing sensitivity and stability for
Continuous Measurement of Lactate Concentration in Human Subjects through Direct Electron Transfer from Enzymes to Microneedle Electrodes
Microneedle biosensors modified with direct electron transfer enzymes were used to continuously monitor lactate levels in human interstitial fluid. The device was validated in a clinical study where lactate levels were altered through exercise. It operates at low voltage and correlates well with blood lactate concentrations, demonstrating potential for non-invasive
Detection of Lactate via Amperometric Sensors Modified With Direct Electron Transfer Enzyme Containing PEDOT:PSS and Hydrogel Inks
The study focuses on amperometric sensors modified with direct electron transfer (DET) Lactazymes from DirectSens for lactate detection in blood and interstitial dermal fluid. Two sensor types were developed: carbon-based screen-printed biosensors for rapid blood measurements and platinum-microneedle sensors for continuous, minimally invasive ISF monitoring. Both sensor types demonstrated effective
