Emphasizing laccase based amperometric biosensing as an eventual panpharmacon for rapid and effective detection of phenolic compounds.

Phenols and phenolic compounds are major plant metabolites used in industries to produce pesticides, dyes, medicines, and plastics. These compounds enter water bodies, soil, and living organisms via such industrial routes. Some polyphenolic compounds like phenolic acids, flavonoids have antioxidant and organoleptic qualities, as well as preventive effects against neurodegenerative illnesses, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Amperometric detection of tumor suppressor protein p53 via pencil graphite electrode for fast cancer diagnosis.

Cancer occupies the second place in terms of worldwide mortality. Early and fast diagnosis of cancer helps clinicians to expand therapeutic approaches ultimately leading towards early diagnosis of cancer patients. In the present work, we delineated an amperometric immunosensor to diagnose cancer to detect p53, a biomarker for cancer.

A comprehensive review of methods for determination of l-lysine with detailed description of biosensors.

l-lysine being one of the essential amino acids is not produced by the body, but is obtained through diet. l-lysine determination is important in the food and pharmaceutical industries as well as have medical and diagnostic applications. The normal l-lysine levels in a healthy human serum sample is 150 to 250 μmol/l.

Fabrication and application of an amperometric lysine biosensor based on covalently immobilized lysine oxidase nanoparticles onto Au electrode.

The fabrication of an amperometric lysine biosensor is described in this study, wherein nanoparticles (NPs) of lysine oxidase (LOx) are covalently immobilized onto gold electrode (AuE). The LOxNPs were prepared by desolvation method and characterized by UV Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infra red (FTIR) spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The LOxNPs/AuE modified working electrode was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and cyclic voltammetric (CV) techniques.
