Abstract
Glycated proteins are generated by binding of glucose to the proteins in blood stream through a nonenzymatic reaction. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a glycated protein with glucose at the N-terminal of β-chain. HbA1c is extensively used as an indicator for assessing the blood glucose concentration in diabetes patients. There are different conventional clinical methods for the detection of HbA1c. However, enzymatic detection method has newly obtained great attention for its high precision and cost-effectiveness. Today, fructosyl peptide oxidase (FPOX) plays a key role in the enzymatic measurement of HbA1c, and different companies have marketed HbA1c assay systems based on FPOX. Recent investigations show that FPOX could be used in assaying HbA1 without requiring HbA1c primary digestion. It could also be applied as a biosensor for HbA1c detection. In this review, we have discussed the recent improvements of FPOX properties, different methods of FPOX purification, solubility, and immobilization, and also the use of FPOX in HbA1c biosensors.

An engineered lactate oxidase based electrochemical sensor for continuous detection of biomarker lactic acid in human sweat and serum. Heliyon 2024; 10:e34301.

Abstract
Lactate levels in humans reveal intensity and duration of exertion and provide a critical readout for the severity of life-threatening illnesses such as pediatric sepsis. Using the lactate oxidase enzyme (Lox) from Aerococcus viridians, we demonstrated its functionality for lactate electrochemical sensing in physiological fluids in a lab setting. The structure and dynamics of LOx were validated by crystallography, X-ray scattering, and hydroxyl radical protein footprinting. This provided a validated protein template for understanding and designing an enzyme-based electrochemical sensing elements. Using this template, LOx enzyme variants were generated and compared. Comparison of the variants demonstrates that one exhibits effective lactate sensing at significantly reduced operating voltages. Additionally, we demonstrate that the four hexahistidine-tags on each enzyme tetramer are sufficient for immobilization to create a durable, functional sensor, with no need for a covalent attachment, enabling self-immobilization and eliminating the need for additional immobilization steps. The functionality of the LOx enzyme variants was verified at physiological lactate concentrations in both human serum (0-4 mM) and artificial sweat (0-100 mM) using 3-electrode setups for analysis of the three variants in parallel. Accuracy of measurement in both artificial sweat and human serum were high. Employing a microfluidic flow cell, we successfully monitored varying lactate levels in physiological fluids continuously over a 2h period. Overall, this optimized LOx enzyme, which self-immobilizes onto gold sensing electrodes, facilitates efficient and reliable lactate detection and continuous monitoring at reduced operating voltages suitable for further development towards commercial use.

The 2.5 th generation enzymatic sensors based on the construction of quasi-direct electron transfer type NAD(P)-Dependent dehydrogenases. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 255:116219. [PMID: 38552525 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 03/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
We introduce a versatile method to convert NAD+ or NADP+ -dependent dehydrogenases into quasi-direct electron transfer (quasi-DET)-type dehydrogenases, by modifying with a mediator on the enzyme surface toward the development of 2.5th generation enzymatic sensors. In this study, we use β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) dehydrogenase (BHBDh) from Alcaligenes faecalis (AfBHBDh) as a representative NAD+ or NADP+ -dependent dehydrogenase. BHBDhs are important in ketone monitoring, especially for the diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis. We modified AfBHBDh with a thiol-reactive phenazine ethosulfate (trPES). We designed, constructed, and modified mutant BHBDhs harboring cysteine residues within 20 Å from the C4 nicotinamide in NAD+/NADH. Mutants Ser65Cys, Thr96Cys, and Lys106Cys showed indistinguishable catalytic activities from the wild-type enzyme, even after trPES modification. These trPES-modified mutants were immobilized on gold disk electrodes via amine coupling with succinimide-groups of dithiobis (succinimidyl hexanoate) self-assembled monolayers for electrochemical measurements. Considering there is a wide range of BHB concentrations, we exploited the linear regression in log scales. The linear range for the sensors with trPES-modified BHBDh mutants Ser65Cys, Thr96Cys, and Lys106Cys were 0.1-4.0 mM in both buffer solution and artificial interstitial fluid (ISF). They have limits of detection of 0.047 mM for Ser65Cys, 0.15 mM for Thr96Cys, and 0.060 mM for Lys106Cys in buffer solution, and 0.12 mM, 0.089 mM, and 0.044 mM in artificial ISF, respectively. These results indicate that redox mediator modification of NAD(P)-dependent dehydrogenases converts them into quasi-DET-type dehydrogenases, thereby enabling their utilization in 2.5th generation enzymatic sensors, which will facilitate the construction of enzymatic sensors suitable for continuous monitoring systems.

Abstract
Herein, we present a proof-of-concept of an enzyme sensor combining closed bipolar electrode system with quasi-direct electron transfer (DET) type enzyme. The closed bipolar electrode system was tested using cyclic voltammetry, with L-lactate as a model substrate. L-Lactate was detected through measurement of the change in junction potential across the bipolar electrode. This change in junction potential was caused by reduction of amino reactive phenazine ethosulfate conjugated to Aerococcus vilidans derived engineered L-lactate oxidase (AvLOx) which shows a quasi-DET signal. Using the closed bipolar electrode system allowed simultaneous measuring using cyclic voltammetry and open circuit potential (OCP) and achieved a limit of detection of 400 μM and 76.2 μM lactate respectively. The sensor was then demonstrated to perform with equivalent sensitivity using OCP across varying surface areas. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time a closed bipolar electrode system has been used with an enzyme which is capable of quasi-direct or direct electron transfer. This work can be expanded further to other enzymes capable of directly altering the junction potential of an electrode surface.

Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 253:116184.

Abstract
Direct electron transfer (DET) between an electrode and redox labels is feasible in electrochemical biosensors using small aptamer-aptamer sandwiches; however, its application is limited in biosensors that rely on larger antibody-antibody sandwiches. The development of sandwich-type biosensors utilizing DET is challenged by the scarcity of aptamer-aptamer sandwich pairs with high affinity in complex biological samples. Here, we introduce an electrochemical biosensor using an antibody-aptamer hybrid sandwich for detecting thrombin in human serum. The biosensor enables rapid DET through an antibody-aptamer hybrid configuration comprising (i) an antibody capture probe that provides high and specific affinity to the target in human serum, (ii) the target thrombin, and (iii) an aptamer detection probe that facilitates convenient terminal conjugation with long flexible spacer DNA and polylinker peptide containing multiple amine-reactive phenazine ethosulfate (arPES) redox labels, allowing the conjugated labels to easily approach the electrode. Rapid repeated DET using arPES-catalyzed NADH oxidation strongly enhanced the electrochemical signals. Properly sized spacer and polylinker provided low nonspecific adsorption of the aptamer probe conjugated with multiple arPESs and low interference with the binding of the aptamer probe. Methods for immobilizing thiol-terminated antibodies on Au electrodes were compared and optimized. The developed biosensor using the antibody-aptamer hybrid sandwich exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity in detecting thrombin, surpassing the limitations of an aptamer-aptamer sandwich owing to the low affinity of thrombin aptamers in human serum. The calculated detection limit of the biosensor was ∼1.5 pM in buffer and ∼2.7 nM in human serum.

Abstract
The critical performance factors such as selectivity, sensitivity, operational and storage stability, and response time of electrochemical biosensors are governed mainly by the function of their key component, the bioelectrode. Suitable design and fabrication strategies of the bioelectrode interface are essential for realizing the requisite performance of the biosensors for their practical utility. A multifaceted attempt to achieve this goal is visible from the vast literature exploring effective strategies for preparing, immobilizing, and stabilizing biorecognition elements on the electrode surface and efficient transduction of biochemical signals into electrical ones (i.e., current, voltage, and impedance) through the bioelectrode interface with the aid of advanced materials and techniques. The commercial success of biosensors in modern society is also increasingly influenced by their size (and hence portability), multiplexing capability, and coupling in the interface of the wireless communication technology, which facilitates quick data transfer and linked decision-making processes in real-time in different areas such as healthcare, agriculture, food, and environmental applications. Therefore, fabrication of the bioelectrode involves careful selection and control of several parameters, including biorecognition elements, electrode materials, shape and size of the electrode, detection principles, and various fabrication strategies, including microscale and printing technologies. This review discusses recent trends in bioelectrode designs and fabrications for developing electrochemical biosensors. The discussions have been delineated into the types of biorecognition elements and their immobilization strategies, signal transduction approaches, commonly used advanced materials for electrode fabrication and techniques for fabricating the bioelectrodes, and device integration with modern electronic communication technology for developing electrochemical biosensors of commercial interest.

Abstract
Histamine dehydrogenase from the gram-negative bacterium Rhizobium sp. 4-9 (HaDHR) is a member of a small family of dehydrogenases containing a covalently attached FMN, and the only member so far identified to date that does not exhibit substrate inhibition. In this study, we present the 2.1 Å resolution crystal structure of HaDHR. This new structure allowed for the identification of the internal electron transfer pathway to abiological ferrocene-based mediators. Alanine 437 was identified as the exit point of electrons from the Fe4S4 cluster. The enzyme was modified with a Ser436Cys mutation to facilitate covalent attachment of a ferrocene moiety. When modified with Fc-maleimide, this new construct demonstrated direct electron transfer from the enzyme to a gold electrode in a histamine concentration-dependent manner without the need for any additional electron mediators.

Abstract
We report a closed bipolar electrode (CBE)-based sensing platform for the detection of diagnostic metabolites in undiluted whole human blood. The sensor is enabled by electrode chemistry based on: (1) a mixed layer of blood-compatible adsorption-resistant phosphorylcholine (PPC) and phenylbutyric acid (PBA), (2) ferrocene (Fc) redox mediators, and (3) immobilized redox-active enzymes. This scheme is designed to overcome nonspecific protein adsorption and amplify sensing currents in whole human fluids. The scheme also incorporates a diffusing mediator to increase electronic communication between the immobilized redox enzyme and the working electrode. The use of both bound and freely diffusing mediators is synergistic in producing the electrochemical response. The sensor is realized by linking the analyte cell, containing the specific electrode surface architecture, through a CBE to a reporter cell containing the electrochromic reporter, methyl viologen (MV). The colorless-to-purple color change accompanying the 1e- reduction of MV2+ is captured using a smartphone camera. Subsequent red-green-blue analysis is performed on the acquired images to determine cholesterol, glucose, and lactate concentrations in whole blood. The CBE blood metabolite sensor produces a linear color change at clinically relevant concentration ranges for all metabolites with good reproducibility (∼5% or better) and with limits of detection of 79 μM for cholesterol, 59 μM for glucose, and 86 μM for lactate. Finally, metabolite concentration measurements from the CBE blood metabolite sensor are compared with results from commercially available FDA-approved blood cholesterol, glucose, and lactate meters, with an average difference of ∼3.5% across all three metabolites in the ranges studied.

Abstract
The electrochemical enzyme sensors based on direct electron transfer (DET)-type oxidoreductase-based enzymes are ideal for continuous and in vivo monitoring. However, the number and types of DET-type oxidoreductases are limited. The aim of this research is the development of a versatile method to create a DET-type oxidoreductase complex based on the SpyCatcher/SpyTag technique by preparing SpyCatcher-fused heme c and SpyTag-fused non-DET-type oxidoreductases, and by the in vitro formation of DET-type oxidoreductase complexes. A heme c containing an electron transfer protein derived from Rhizobium radiobacter (CYTc) was selected to prepare SpyCatcher-fused heme c. Three non-DET-type oxidoreductases were selected as candidates for the SpyTag-fused enzyme: fungi-derived flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (GDH), an engineered FAD-dependent d-amino acid oxidase (DAAOx), and an engineered FMN-dependent l-lactate oxidase (LOx). CYTc-SpyCatcher (CYTc-SC) and SpyTag-Enzymes (ST-GDH, ST-DAAOx, ST-LOx) were prepared as soluble molecules while maintaining their redox properties and catalytic activities, respectively. CYTc-SC/ST-Enzyme complexes were formed by mixing CYTc-SpyCatcher and SpyTag-Enzymes, and the complexes retained their original enzymatic activity. Remarkably, the heme domain served as an electron acceptor from complexed enzymes by intramolecular electron transfer; consequently, all constructed CYTc-SC/ST-Enzyme complexes showed DET ability to the electrode, demonstrating the versatility of this method.

Abstract
Enzymatic biosensors based on glucose oxidase has been proven to be one of the effective strategies for the detection of glucose and contributed to health improvements. Therefore, research and debates to date are ongoing in an attempt to find the most effective way to detect this analyte using this enzyme as the recognition center. The 3rd generation biosensors using direct electron transfer (DET) type enzymes are a great way towards practical devices. In this work, we developed a simple method for the functionalization of glucose oxidase with redoxable ferrocene groups in chloroform. The enzyme retained its activity after storage in this organic solvent and after the functionalization procedures. This enzyme functionalization strategy was employed to develop the biosensing monolayer-based platforms for the detection of glucose utilizing the quasi-DET mechanism. As a result of an electrochemical regeneration of the catalytic center, the formation of harmful H2O2 is minimized during enzymatic electrocatalysis.

Transient potentiometry based d-serine sensor using engineered d-amino acid oxidase showing quasi-direct electron transfer property. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 200:113927. [PMID: 34995837 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2021.113927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Revised: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 12/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
d-Serine biosensing has been extensively reported based on enzyme sensors using flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) -dependent d-amino acid oxidase (DAAOx), based on the monitoring of hydrogen peroxide generated by the enzymatic reaction, which is affected by dissolved oxygen concentration in the measurement environment in in vivo use. Here we report a novel sensing principle for d-serine, transient potentiometry based d-serine sensor using engineered DAAOx showing quasi-direct electron transfer (DET) property. DAAOx Gly52Val mutant, revealed to possess dye-mediated dehydrogenase activity using artificial synthetic electron acceptors, while its oxidase activity was negligible. The enzyme was immobilized on electrode and was modified with amine-reactive phenazine ethosulfate, resulted an enzyme electrode showing quasi-DET type response. Although OCP based monitoring took more than several minutes to obtain steady state OCP value, the time dependent OCP change monitoring, transient potentiometry, provided rapid and sensitive sensor signals. While dOCP/dt based monitoring was suitable for sensing with longer than 5 s time resolution with d-serine concentration range between 0.5 mM and 5 mM, dOCP/d t based monitoring is suitable for d-serine monitoring with much shorter time resolution (less than 1 s) with high sensitivity with wider dynamic range (20 μM-30 mM). The maximum dOCP/d t was -39.2 ± 2.0 mV/s1/2, the Km(app) was 1.9 mM, and the lower limit of detection was 20 μM. In addition, d-serine monitoring was also possible in the artificial cerebrospinal fluid. The transient potentiometry based sensing reported in this study will be further utilized to realize miniaturized, continuous, real-time, in vivo sensor for d-serine monitoring.

An Amine-Reactive Phenazine Ethosulfate (arPES)-A Novel Redox Probe for Electrochemical Aptamer-Based Sensor. SENSORS 2022; 22:s22051760. [PMID: 35270906 PMCID: PMC8914840 DOI: 10.3390/s22051760] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2021] [Revised: 02/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Electrochemical aptamer-based biosensors (E-ABs) are attractive candidates for use in biomarker detection systems due to their sensitivity, rapid response, and design flexibility. There are only several redox probes that were employed previously for this application, and a combination of redox probes affords some advantages in target detection. Thus, it would be advantageous to study new redox probes in an E-AB system. In this study, we report the use of amine-reactive phenazine ethosulfate (arPES) for E-AB through its conjugation to the terminus of thrombin-binding aptamer. The constructed E-AB can detect thrombin by square-wave voltammetry (SWV), showing peak current at −0.15 V vs. Ag/AgCl at pH 7, which differs from redox probes used previously for E-ABs. We also compared the characteristics of PES as a redox probe for E-AB to methylene blue (MB), which is widely used. arPES showed stable signal at physiological pH. Moreover, the pH profile of arPES modified thrombin-binding aptamer revealed the potential application of arPES for a simultaneous multianalyte detection system. This could be achieved using different aptamers with several redox probes in tandem that harbor various electrochemical peak potentials. Our findings present a great opportunity to improve the current standard of biological fluid monitoring using E-AB.

Abstract
Direct electron transfer (DET) between a redox label and an electrode has been used for sensitive and selective sandwich-type detection without a wash step. However, applying DET is still highly challenging in protein detection, and a single redox label per probe is insufficient to obtain a high electrochemical signal. Here, we report a wash-free, sandwich-type detection of thrombin using DET and catalytic signal amplification of multiple redox labels. The detection scheme is based on (i) the redox label-catalyzed oxidation of a reductant, (ii) the conjugation of multiple redox labels per probe using a poly-linker, (iii) the low nonspecific adsorption of the conjugated poly-linker due to uncharged, reduced redox labels, and (iv) a facile DET using long, flexible poly-linker and spacer DNA. Amine-reactive phenazine ethosulfate and NADH were used as the redox label and reductant, respectively. N3-terminated polylysine was used as the poly-linker for the conjugation between an aptamer probe and multiple redox labels. Approximately 11 redox labels per probe and rapid catalytic NADH oxidation enable high signal amplification. Thrombin in urine could be detected without a wash step with a detection limit of ∼50 pM, which is practically promising for point-of-care testing of proteins.

Abstract
Flavoenzyme dye-linked l-lactate dehydrogenase (Dye-LDH) is primarily involved in energy generation through electron transfer and exhibits potential utility in electrochemical devices. In this study, a gene encoding a Dye-LDH homolog was identified in a hyperthermophilic archaeon, Sulfurisphaera tokodaii. This gene was part of an operon that consisted of four genes that were tandemly arranged in the Sf. tokodaii genome in the following order: stk_16540, stk_16550 (dye-ldh homolog), stk_16560, and stk_16570. This gene cluster was expressed in an archaeal host, Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, and the produced enzyme was purified to homogeneity and characterized. The purified recombinant enzyme exhibited Dye-LDH activity and consisted of two different subunits (products of stk_16540 (α) and stk_16550 (β)), forming a heterohexameric structure (α3β3) with a molecular mass of approximately 253 kDa. Dye-LDH also exhibited excellent stability, retaining full activity upon incubation at 70 °C for 10 min and up to 80% activity after 30 min at 50 °C and pH 6.5–8.0. A quasi-direct electron transfer (DET)-type Dye-LDH was successfully developed by modification of the recombinant enzyme with an artificial redox mediator, phenazine ethosulfate, through amine groups on the enzyme’s surface. This study is the first report describing the development of a quasi-DET-type enzyme by using thermostable Dye-LDH.

Abstract
Oriented enzyme immobilization on electrodes is crucial for interfacial electrical coupling of direct electron transfer (DET)-based enzyme-electrode systems. As inorganic-binding peptides are introduced as molecular binders and enzyme-orienting agents, inorganic-binding peptide-fused enzymes should be designed and constructed to achieve efficient DET. In this study, it is aimed to compare the effects of various gold-binding peptides (GBPs) fused to enzymes on electrocatalytic activity, bioactivity, and material-binding behaviors. Here, GBPs with identical gold-binding properties but different amino acid sequences were fused to the FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase gamma-alpha complex (GDHγα) to generate four GDHγα variants. The structural, biochemical, mechanical, and bioelectrochemical properties of these GDHγα variants immobilized on electrode were determined by their fused GBPs. Our results confirmed that the GBP type is vital in the design, construction, and optimization of GBP-fused enzyme-modified electrodes for facile interfacial DET and practical DET-based enzyme-electrode systems. The four GBP sequences are genetically fused to catalytic subunit of GDHγα complex The cofactor-surface interface was investigated with 3D models of fusion enzymes The four systems exhibit diverse electrochemical results depending on GBP type

Abstract
Enzymes are molecules that catalyze reactions critical to life. These catalysts are often studied in bulk water, where the influence of water volume on reactivity is neglected. Here, we demonstrate rate enhancement of up to two orders of magnitude for enzymes trapped in submicrometer water nanodroplets suspended in 1,2-dichloroethane. When single nanodroplets irreversibly adsorb onto an ultramicroelectrode surface, enzymatic activity is apparent in the amperometric current-time trace if the ultramicroelectrode generates the enzyme cofactor. Nanodroplet volume is easily accessible by integrating the current-time response and using Faraday's Law. The single nanodroplet technique allows us to plot the enzyme's activity as a function of nanodroplet size, revealing a strong inverse relationship. Finite element simulations confirm our experimental results and offer insights into parameters influencing single nanodroplet enzymology. These results provide a framework to profoundly influence the understanding of chemical reactivity at the nanoscale.

Development of glycated peptide enzyme sensor based flow injection analysis system for haemoglobin A1c monitoring using quasi-direct electron transfer type engineered fructosyl peptide oxidase.

Abstract
Haemoglobin A1c (hemoglobin A1c, HbA1c) is an important long-term glycemic control marker for diabetes. The aim of this study was to develop an enzyme flow injection analysis (FIA) system using engineered fructosyl peptide oxidase (FPOx) based on 2.5th generation principle for an HbA1c automated analytical system. FPOx from Phaeosphaeria nodorum (PnFPOx) was engineered by introducing a Lys residue at the R414 position, to be modified with amine reactive phenazine ethosulfate (arPES) in proximity of FAD. The engineered PnFPOx mutant with minimized oxidase activity, N56A/R414K, showed quasi-direct electron transfer (quasi-DET) ability after PES-modification. The FIA system was constructed by employing a PES-modified PnFPOx N56A/R414K and operated at 0 V against Ag/AgCl. The system showed reproducible responses with a linear range of 20-500 μM for both fructosyl valine (FV) and fructosyl valylhistidine (FVH), with sensitivities of 0.49 nA μM-1 and 0.13 nA μM-1, and the detection limits of 1.3 μM and 2.0 μM for FV and FVH, respectively. These results indicate that the enzyme electrochemical FIA system covers the clinical range of HbA1c detection for more 200 consecutive measurements. Protease digested three different levels of HbA1c samples including healthy and diabetic range subjects were also measured with the FIA system. Thus, it will be possible to develop an integrated system consisting of sample pretreatment and sample electrochemical measurement based on an FIA system possessing quasi-DET type PnFPOx.

Abstract
Fungi-derived flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent glucose dehydrogenases (FADGDHs) are the most popular and advanced enzymes for SMBG sensors because of their high substrate specificity toward glucose and oxygen insensitivity. However, this type of FADGDH hardly shows direct electron transfer (DET) ability. In this study, we developed a new DET-type FADGDH by harboring Cytochrome b562 (cyt b562) derived from Escherichia coli as the electron transfer domain. The structural genes encoding fusion enzymes composed of cyt b562 at either the N- or C-terminus of fungal FADGDH, (cyt b562-GDH or GDH-cyt b562), were constructed, recombinantly expressed, and characteristics of the fusion proteins were investigated. Both constructed fusion enzymes were successfully expressed in E. coli, as the soluble and GDH active proteins, showing cyt b562 specific redox properties. Thusconstructed fusion proteins showed internal electron transfer between FAD in FADGDH and fused cyt b562. Consequently, both cyt b562-GDH and GDH-cyt b562 showed DET abilities toward electrode. Interestingly, cyt b562-GDH showed much rapid internal electron transfer and higher DET ability than GDH-cyt b562. Thus, we demonstrated the construction and production of a new DET-type FADGDH using E.coli as the host cells, which is advantageous for future industrial application and further engineering.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOx) has been widely utilized for monitoring glycemic levels due to its availability, high activity, and specificity toward glucose. Among the three generations of electrochemical glucose sensor principles, direct electron transfer (DET)-based third-generation sensors are considered the ideal principle since the measurements can be carried out in the absence of a free redox mediator in the solution without the impact of oxygen and at a low enough potential for amperometric measurement to avoid the effect of electrochemically active interferences. However, natural GOx is not capable of DET. Therefore, a simple and rapid strategy to create DET-capable GOx is desired. In this study, we designed engineered GOx, which was made readily available for single-step modification with a redox mediator (phenazine ethosulfate, PES) on its surface via a lysine residue rationally introduced into the enzyme. Thus, PES-modified engineered GOx showed a quasi-DET response upon the addition of glucose. This strategy and the obtained results will contribute to the further development of quasi-DET GOx-based glucose monitoring dedicated to precise and accurate glycemic control for diabetic patient care.

Abstract
The l-lactate oxidase (LOx) based lactate sensors are widely used for clinical diagnostics, sports medicine, and food quality control. However, dissolved oxygen interference and electroactive interferent effects are inherent issues of current lactate sensors. In this paper, a quasi-direct electron transfer (quasi-DET) type lactate sensor was developed using rationally engineered Aerococcus viridans LOx (AvLOx) modified with amine-reactive phenazine ethosulfate (PES). Since the modification of wild type AvLOx by PES did not result quasi-DET, engineered AvLOx with additional Lys residue was designed. The additional Lys residue was introduced by substituting residue locating on the surface of AvLOx, and within 20 Å of the isoalloxazine ring of FMN. Among several constructed mutants, Ala96Leu/Asn212Lys double mutant showed the highest dye-mediated dehydrogenase activity with negligible oxidase activity, showing quasi-DET properties after PES modification, when the enzyme was immobilized on screen printed carbon electrode. The constructed electrode did not show oxygen interference in cyclic voltammetric analysis and distinct catalytic current with 20 mM l-lactate. The sensor performance of a chronoamperometric l-lactate sensor employing PES modified Ala96Leu/Asn212Lys AvLOx, marked with linear range between 0 and 1 mM, with sensitivity of 13 μA/mM∙cm2, and a limit of detection of 25 μM for l-lactate. By applying -200 mV vs. Ag/AgCl, l-lactate could be monitored with negligible interference from 170 μM ascorbic acid, 1.3 mM acetaminophen, 1.4 mM uric acid or 20 mM glucose. These results indicated that a quasi-DET type lactate sensor was developed that did not suffer from the interference of oxygen and representative electroactive ingredient compounds.

Abstract
The history of the development of glucose sensors goes hand-in-hand with the history of the discovery and the engineering of glucose-sensing enzymes. Glucose oxidase (GOx) has been used for glucose sensing since the development of the first electrochemical glucose sensor. The principle utilizing oxygen as the electron acceptor is designated as the first-generation electrochemical enzyme sensors. With increasing demand for hand-held and cost-effective devices for the "self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG)", second-generation electrochemical sensor strips employing electron mediators have become the most popular platform. To overcome the inherent drawback of GOx, namely, the use of oxygen as the electron acceptor, various glucose dehydrogenases (GDHs) have been utilized in second-generation principle-based sensors. Among the various enzymes employed in glucose sensors, GDHs harboring FAD as the redox cofactor, FADGDHs, especially those derived from fungi, fFADGDHs, are currently the most popular enzymes in the sensor strips of second-generation SMBG sensors. In addition, the third-generation principle, employing direct electron transfer (DET), is considered the most elegant approach and is ideal for use in electrochemical enzyme sensors. However, glucose oxidoreductases capable of DET are limited. One of the most prominent GDHs capable of DET is a bacteria-derived FADGDH complex (bFADGDH). bFADGDH has three distinct subunits; the FAD harboring the catalytic subunit, the small subunit, and the electron-transfer subunit, which makes bFADGDH capable of DET. In this review, we focused on the two representative glucose sensing enzymes, fFADGDHs and bFADGDHs, by presenting their discovery, sources, and protein and enzyme properties, and the current engineering strategies to improve their potential in sensor applications.

Abstract
Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) plays a pivotal role in the electron-transfer chain of biological system. Analysis of many biological markers is based on the detection of the enzymatically generated NADH. In this paper, a sensitive hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) biosensor, fabricated by carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)/horseradish peroxidase (HRP), was applied for detecting the NADH in a buffer containing methylene blue (MB) at low operating potential of - 0.3 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Since the NADH could be oxidized by MB to release H2O2, the electrochemical biosensor enables to detect the NADH in the MB buffer. And the low working potential made the biosensor avoid the interference from other electroactive substances. Linear response ranges from 10 μM to 790 μM, with a sensitivity of 4.76 μA mM-1 and a detection limit of 1.53 μM were obtained under the optimum conditions. The proposed sensor provided a promising approach for sensitively detecting the NADH.

Abstract
A highly sensitive glucose sensor was prepared by a one-step method using 3-aminophenyl boronic acid as a unit of recognition and a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) as an electrochemical transducer. Scanning Electron Microscopy confirmed the success of the functionalization of the SPCE due to the presence of clusters of boronic acid distributed on the carbon surface. In agreement with the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) tests performed before and after the functionalization, Cyclic Voltammetry results indicated that the electroactivity of the electrode decreased 37.9% owing to the presence of the poly phenylboronic acid on the electrode surface. EIS revealed that the sensor was capable to selectively detect glucose at a broad range of concentrations (limit of detection of 8.53 × 10-9 M), not recognizing fructose and sucrose. The device presented a stable impedimetric response when immediately prepared but suffered the influence of the storage time and some interfering species (dopamine, NaCl and animal serum). The response time at optimized conditions was estimated to be equal to 4.0 ± 0.6 s.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is critically important for successful treatment and recovery of patients. At present, detection of CVD at early stages of its progression becomes a major issue for world health. The nanoscale electrochemical biosensors exhibit diverse outstanding properties, rendering them extremely suitable for the determination of CVD biomarkers at very low concentrations in biological fluids. The unique advantages offered by electrochemical biosensors in terms of sensitivity and stability imparted by nanostructuring the electrode surface together with high affinity and selectivity of bioreceptors have led to the development of new electrochemical biosensing strategies that have introduced as interesting alternatives to conventional methodologies for clinical diagnostics of CVD. This review provides an updated overview of selected examples during the period 2005-2018 involving electrochemical biosensing approaches and signal amplification strategies based on nanomaterials, which have been applied for determination of CVD biomarkers. The studied CVD biomarkers include AXL receptor tyrosine kinase, apolipoproteins, cholesterol, C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, fibrinogen (Fib), glucose, insulin, interleukins, lipoproteins, myoglobin, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and troponins (Tns) on electrochemical transduction format. Identification of new specific CVD biomarkers, multiplex bioassay for the simultaneous determination of biomarkers, emergence of microfluidic biosensors, real-time analysis of biomarkers and point of care validation with high sensitivity and selectivity are the major challenges for future research.

Abstract
Fungi-derived flavin adenine dinucleotide glucose dehydrogenases (FADGDHs) are currently the most popular and advanced enzymes for self-monitoring of blood glucose sensors; however, the achievement of direct electron transfer (DET) with FADGDHs is difficult. In this study, a designer FADGDH was constructed by fusing Aspergillus flavus derived FADGDH (AfGDH) and a Phanerochaete chrisosporium CDH (PcCDH)-derived heme b-binding cytochrome domain to develop a novel FADGDH that is capable of direct electron transfer with an electrode. A structural prediction suggested that the heme in the CDH may exist in proximity to the FAD of AfGDH if the heme b-binding cytochrome domain is fused to the AfGDH N-terminal region. Spectroscopic observations of recombinantly produced designer FADGDH confirmed the intramolecular electron transfer between FAD and the heme. A decrease in pH and the presence of a divalent cation improved the intramolecular electron transfer. An enzyme electrode with the immobilized designer FADGDH showed an increase in current immediately after the addition of glucose in a glucose concentration-dependent manner, whereas those with wild-type AfGDH did not show an increase in current. Therefore, the designer FADGDH was confirmed to be a novel GDH that possesses electrode DET ability. The difference in the surface electrostatic potentials of AfGDH and the catalytic domain of PcCDH might be why their intramolecular electron transfer ability is inferior to that of CDH. These relevant and consistent findings provide us with a novel strategic approach for the improvement of the DET properties of designer FADGDH. (241 words).
