This work reports the first construction of the ternary layers of ITO/PbS/SiO/AuNPs nanostructure for development of photoelectrochemical (PEC) glucose sensor. Herein, the thioglycolic acid-capped PbS quantum dots was employed as a PEC active probe, which is very sensitive to oxygen. The small gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were act as nanozyme (mimic enzyme of glucose oxidase) to catalytically oxidize glucose in the presence of oxygen, meanwhile consumed oxygen and then resulted in the decrease of cathodic photocurrent. The insertion layer of SiO nanoparticles between PbS and AuNPs could reduce efficiently the base current due to its low electroconductivity, which improved the detection limit. The proposed PEC sensor exhibited high sensitivity and gold selectivity towards glucose. The linear response of glucose concentrations ranged from 1.0 μM to 1.0 mM with detection limit of 0.46 μM (S/N = 3). The results suggest the potential of design and development of numerous nanozyme-based PEC biosensors with the advantage of the simplicity, stability, and efficiency.

Human glucokinase (GCK) functions as a glucose sensor in the pancreas and liver, where GCK activity regulates insulin secretion and glycogen synthesis, respectively. GCK's low affinity for glucose and the sigmoidal substrate dependency of enzymatic turnover enables it to act as a sensor that makes cells responsive to changes in circulating glucose levels. Its unusual kinetic properties are intrinsically linked to the enzyme's conformational dynamics.

Background: While disease-modifying treatments that reduce Aβ have been recently approved by the FDA, the identification of novel therapeutic targets and strategies that target underlying mechanisms to delay the AD development are still needed. Abnormal brain energy homeostasis and mitochondria dysfunction are observed early in AD. Therefore, the development of treatments to restore these defects could be beneficial.

Boronic acids have been widely applied in various biological fields, particularly achieving significant practical progress in boronic acid-based glucose sensing. However, boronic acids exhibit nonspecific binding to other nucleophiles, and the inherent lability of boronic esters in biological systems limits their further applications. Herein, we developed a stimuli-responsive controllable caging strategy to achieve photoresponsive spatiotemporally and nitroreductase-responsive cancer cell-selective glucose sensing.

Achieving sensors that can sensitively and selectively quantify levels of analytes in complex biofluids such as blood remains a significant challenge. To address this, we synthesized an array of isolated carbon nanochannels on a flat gold electrode that function as molecular sieves to prevent protein fouling and eliminate the need for antifouling layers. Utilizing a two-step pulsed technique, a reductive pulse expels negative interferences and fouling molecules followed by an oxidative pulse that oxidizes glucose at the bottom of the channel and on the gold surface.

ZnO-doped CuO nanocomposites (CuO-ZnO NPs) of 1, 3, and 5 mol% were prepared by the solution combustion method using ODH as a fuel (Oxlyl-hydrazide) at 500 °C and calcining at 1000 °C for two hours and the Structural, photocatalytic, and electrochemical properties were investigated by experimental and theoretical methods. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed a crystallite size (D) range of 25 to 31 nm for pure CuO and 1, 3, and 5 mol% CuO-ZnO NPs. According to calculations, the optical energy band gap (Eg) of the NPs is between 2.
