Article Synopsis
- α-Glycosidases are essential enzymes that help break down carbohydrates and are crucial for diagnosing conditions like type-II diabetes and Fabry disease due to mutations in related enzymes.
- A new, affordable luminescent assay has been developed to effectively detect these enzymes within a hydrogel matrix, providing accurate quantification at low levels.
- This new sensing method also allows for quick screening of drug molecules that inhibit these enzymes, aiding in the development of better treatments and diagnostics.
An antioxidant, antibacterial, and biocompatible biomaterial is essential to repair skin wounds effectively. Here, we have employed two natural biopolymers, isabgol (ISAB) and konjac glucomannan (KGM), to prepare microporous scaffolds by freezing and lyophilization. The scaffolds are loaded with thymol (THY) to impart potent antioxidant and antibacterial activities.
