A sonochemically fabricated alcohol oxidase enzyme micro-electrode array is reported. Sensors of this type were fabricated by first depositing an insulating polydiaminobenzene film on supporting gold electrodes. Sonication and subsequent ablation exposed discrete areas of the underlying conducting electrode, which collectively act as a microelectrode array. Electropolymerisation of aniline has been used to generate in situ polyaniline containing entrapped alcohol oxidase. The physical and electrochemical properties of these films were studied and reported within this paper. The final composites were shown to behave with microelectrode performance characteristics for the detection of aqueous ethanol concentrations.

Conventional wearable flexible sensing systems typically comprise three components: a flexible substrate that contacts the skin, a signal processing module, and a signal output module. These components function relatively independently, resulting in a complex system that lacks sufficient integration. Therefore, developing an integrated wearable flexible sensing system by combining the flexible substrate, the signal processing module, and the signal output module not only enhances performance and comfort, but also reduces manufacturing costs and the risk of failure.

We propose a hybrid electrocatalytic-bioelectrocatalytic reaction cascade integrated on a gas diffusion electrode for CO reduction under selective formation of methanol. Ag-BiO selectively reduces gaseous CO to formate at neutral pH conditions. A subsequent enzymatic cascade comprising formaldehyde dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase, which are both nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent, further reduce formate sequentially to formaldehyde and methanol.

The vanillyl alcohol oxidase/p-cresol methylhydroxylase (VAO/PCMH) flavoprotein family comprises a broad spectrum of enzymes capable of catalyzing the oxidative bioconversions of various substrates. Among them, pinoresinol hydroxylase (PinH) from the 4-alkylphenol oxidizing subgroup initiates the oxidative degradation of (+)-pinoresinol, a lignan important for both lignin structure and plant defense. In this study, we present a detailed biochemical and structural characterization of PinH from Pseudomonas sp.

Intracellular alcohol oxidase (AOX) was isolated from the basidiomycetous white rot fungus FCL139. The enzyme was semi-purified (13-fold) using two-step chromatography with 30% activity recovery. The identity of the protein was confirmed by LC-MS/MS analysis, and its MW (72 kDa) and pI (6.
