Sequential injection analysis systems have been extensively exploited in the last decades for the implementation of enzyme based assays aiming the evaluation of enzyme activity or the determination of specific analytes. The most prominent aspects of the automation of enzymatic assays in these systems are discussed in this review. Special attention is devoted to the mode of enzyme manipulation in homogeneous or heterogeneous media and to the comparison with batch and flow injection enzyme methodologies. The possibility of implementing strategies for the enhancement of selectivity in specific determinations is also addressed. The more recent trends in this field are discussed focusing mainly on the miniaturization resorting to the lab-on valve platform as well as on the bead injection concept.

Integrating machine learning potentials (MLPs) with quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) free energy simulations has emerged as a powerful approach for studying enzymatic catalysis. However, its practical application has been hindered by the time-consuming process of generating the necessary training, validation, and test data for MLP models through QM/MM simulations. Furthermore, the entire process needs to be repeated for each specific enzyme system and reaction.

This study investigated the green synthesis of Zn-MnO nanocomposites via the fungus Penicillium rubens. Herein, the synthesized Zn-MnO nanocomposites were confirmed by UV-spectrophotometry with a top peak (370 nm). Transmission electron microscopy confirmed irregular particles with a spherical-like shape ranging from 25.

Accurate, specific, and cost-effective detection of toxic cyanogenic glycosides is crucial for ensuring biological health and food safety. In this study, a novel biosensor based on co-immobilized multi-enzyme system was constructed by artificial antibody-antigen-directed immobilization for the colorimetric detection of amygdalin through a cascade reaction catalyzed by β-glucosidase, glucose oxidase, and horseradish peroxidase. Artificial antibodies and antigens were prepared using catechol and 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, respectively, to generate mutual affinity recognition ability for enzyme immobilization.

Many patients with diabetes use self-measurement devices for blood glucose to understand their blood glucose levels. Most of these devices utilize FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) to determine blood glucose levels. For this purpose, FAD-GDHs specifically oxidizing glucose among the sugars present in blood is required.
