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.

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
Advanced healthcare requires novel technologies capable of real-time sensing to monitor acute and long-term health. The challenge relies on converting a real-time quantitative biological and chemical signal into a desired measurable output. Given the success in detecting glucose and the commercialization of glucometers, electrochemical biosensors continue to be a mainstay of academic and industrial research activities. Despite the wealth of literature on electrochemical biosensors, reports are often specific to a particular application (e.g., pathogens, cancer markers, glucose, etc.), and most fail to convey the underlying strategy and design, and if it is transferable to detection of a different analyte. Here we present a tutorial review for those entering this research area that summarizes the basic electrochemical techniques utilized as well as discusses the designs and optimization strategies employed to improve sensitivity and maximize signal output.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOx) activity assays are vital for various applications, including glucose metabolism estimation and fungal testing. However, conventional methods involve time-consuming and complex procedures. In this study, we present a colorimetric platform for in situ GOx activity measurement utilizing redox-sensitive electrochromic nanoparticles based on polyaniline (PAni). The glucose-adsorbed colorimetric paper sensor, herein termed Glu@CPS, is created by immobilizing ferrocene and glucose onto paper substrates that have been functionalized with PAni nanoparticles. Glu@CPS not only demonstrated rapid detection (within 5 min) but also exhibited remarkable selectivity for GOx and a limit of detection as low as 1.25 μM. Moreover, Glu@CPS demonstrated consistent accuracy in the measurement of GOx activity, exhibiting no deviations even after being stored at ambient temperature for a duration of one month. To further corroborate the effectiveness of this method, we applied Glu@CPS in the detection of GOx activity in a moldy red wine. The results highlight the promising potential of Glu@CPS as a convenient and precise platform for GOx activity measurement in diverse applications including food quality control, environmental monitoring, and early detection of fungal contamination.

Abstract
Managing diabetes is a chronic challenge today, requiring monitoring and timely insulin injections to maintain stable blood glucose levels. Traditional clinical testing relies on fingertip or venous blood collection, which has facilitated the emergence of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology to address data limitations. Continuous glucose monitoring technology is recognized for tracking long-term blood glucose fluctuations, and its development, particularly in wearable devices, has given rise to compact and portable continuous glucose monitoring devices, which facilitates the measurement of blood glucose and adjustment of medication. This review introduces the development of wearable CGM-based technologies, including noninvasive methods using body fluids and invasive methods using implantable electrodes. The advantages and disadvantages of these approaches are discussed as well as the use of microneedle arrays in minimally invasive CGM. Microneedle arrays allow for painless transdermal puncture and are expected to facilitate the development of wearable CGM devices. Finally, we discuss the challenges and opportunities and look forward to the biomedical applications and future directions of wearable CGM-based technologies in biological research.

Abstract
DNA-protein complexes are attractive components with broad applications in various research fields, such as DNA aptamer-enzyme complexes as biosensing elements. However, noncovalent DNA-protein complexes often decrease detection sensitivity because they are highly susceptible to environmental conditions. In this study, we developed a versatile DNA-protein covalent-linking patch (D-Pclip) for fabricating covalent and stoichiometric DNA-protein complexes. We comprehensively explored the database to determine the DNA-binding ability of the candidates and selected UdgX as the only uracil-DNA glycosylase known to form covalent bonds with DNA via uracil, with a binding efficiency >90%. We integrated a SpyTag/SpyCatcher protein-coupling system into UdgX to create a universal and convenient D-Pclip. The usability of D-Pclip was shown by preparing a stoichiometric model complex of a hemoglobin (Hb)-binding aptamer and glucose oxidase (GOx) by mixing at 4 °C. The prepared aptamer-GOx complexes detected Hb in a dose-dependent manner within the clinically required detection range in buffer and human serum without any washing procedures. D-Pclip covalently connects any uracil-inserted DNA sequence and any SpyCatcher-fused protein stoichiometrically; therefore, it has a high potential for various applications.

Abstract
Enzymatic electrochemical sensors have become the leading glucose detection technology due to their rapid response, affordability, portability, selectivity, and sensitivity. However, the performance of these sensors is highly dependent on the surface properties of the electrode material used to store glucose oxidase and its ability to retain enzymatic activity under variable environmental conditions. Mesoporous thin films have recently attracted considerable attention as promising candidates for enzyme storage and activity preservation due to their well-defined nanoarchitecture and tunable surface properties. Herein, we systematically compare pathways for the immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) and their effectiveness in electrochemical glucose sensing, following modification protocols that lead to the electrostatic attraction (amino functionalization), covalent bonding (aldehyde functionalization), and electrostatic repulsion (oxygen plasma treatment) of the ordered porous aluminosilicate-coated electrodes. By direct comparison using a quartz crystal microbalance, we demonstrate that glucose oxidase can be loaded in a nanoarchitecture with a pore size of ∼50 nm and pore interconnections of ∼35 nm using the native aluminosilicate surface, as well as after amino or aldehyde surface modification, while oxygen plasma exposure of the native surface inhibits glucose oxidase loading. Despite a variety of routes for enzyme loading, quantitative electrochemical glucose sensing between 0 and 20 mM was only possible when the porous surface was functionalized with amino groups, which we relate to the role of surface chemistry in accessing the underlying substrate. Our results highlight the impact of rational surface modification on electrochemical biosensing performance and demonstrate the potential of tailoring porous nanoarchitecture surfaces for biosensing applications.

Abstract
Food analysis and control are crucial aspects in food research and production in order to ensure quality and safety of food products. Electrochemical biosensors based on enzymes as the bioreceptors are emerging as promising tools for food analysis because of their high selectivity and sensitivity, short analysis time, and high-cost effectiveness in comparison to conventional methods. This review provides the readers with an overview of various electrochemical enzyme-based biosensors in food analysis, focusing on enzymes used for different applications in the analysis of sugars, alcohols, amino acids and amines, and organic acids, as well as mycotoxins and chemical contaminants. In addition, strategies to improve the performance of enzyme-based biosensors that have been reported over the last five years will be discussed. The challenges and future outlooks for the food sector are also presented.

Abstract
Macromolecular crowding can change kinetics of enzyme catalysis. How interaction between enzymes and neighboring macromolecules contributes to the crowding effect on enzyme catalysis has not been quantitatively revealed. In this study, crowding effects of dextran and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on glucose oxidase (GOx) are studied. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer experiments show the high transfer efficiency and stable interaction between the dextran and GOx. Further fluorescence quenching analysis also proves that the association of the dextran-GOx pair can become stronger than that of the PEG-GOx pair. Dextrans with concentrations above or below their chain overlap concentrations (c*) reduce Michaelis constants (Km) of GOx catalysis by 90 % or 45 %, respectively, through volume exclusion mechanism, and in the meantime elevate the enzymatic efficiency (kcat/Km) by 8-fold or by 3-fold, respectively, which is more dramatic than that found in other enzymes before. Strong association between the enzyme and the dextran results in slow turnover rates (kcat). Intermediate crowding with weak to moderate affinity to the enzyme below the c* can tune the kcat higher than in the free state. Catalysis under crowded conditions is a joint effect of the enzyme-crowder nonspecific interaction, volume exclusion and overlap condition of the crowders.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOx)-based electrodes are important for bioelectronics, such as glucose sensors. It is challenging to effectively link GOx with nanomaterial-modified electrodes while preserving enzyme activity in a biocompatible environment. To date, no reports have used biocompatible food-based materials, such as egg white proteins, combined with GOx, redox molecules, and nanoparticles to create the biorecognition layer for biosensors and biofuel cells. This article demonstrates the interface of GOx integrated with egg white proteins on a 5 nm gold nanoparticle (AuNP) functionalized with a 1,4-naphthoquinone (NQ) and conjugated with a screen-printed flexible conductive carbon nanotube (CNT)-modified electrode. Egg white proteins containing ovalbumin can form three-dimensional scaffolds to accommodate immobilized enzymes and adjust the analytical performance. The structure of this biointerface prevents the escape of enzymes and provides a suitable microenvironment for the effective reaction. The bioelectrode's performance and kinetics were evaluated. Using redox-mediated molecules with the AuNPs and the three-dimensional matrix made of egg white proteins improves the transfer of electrons between the electrode and the redox center. By engineering the layer of egg white proteins on the GOx-NQ-AuNPs-mediated CNT-functionalized electrodes, we can modulate analytical performances such as sensitivity and linear range. The bioelectrodes demonstrate high sensitivity and can prolong the stability by more than 85% after 6 h of continuous operation. The use of food-based proteins with redox molecule-modified AuNPs and printed electrodes demonstrates advantages for biosensors and energy devices due to their small size, large surface area, and ease of modification. This concept holds a promise for creating biocompatible electrodes for biosensors and self-sustaining energy devices.

Dysglycemia is common among hospitalized patients. Accurate point-of-care (POC) glucose monitoring is necessary for the safe administration of insulin. Unfortunately, POC glucose meters are not all created equal. Interfering factors such as abnormal hematocrit, abnormal oxygen tension, and oxidizing/reducing substances can lead to inaccurate glucose measurements and result in inappropriate insulin dosing. The introduction of autocorrecting glucose meters has changed the POC testing landscape. Autocorrecting glucose meters provide more accurate measurements and have been associated with improved glycemic control in hospitalized patients. Continuous glucose monitoring has also created interest in using these platforms in at-risk inpatient populations. Future glucose monitoring technologies such as artificial intelligence/machine learning, wearable smart devices, and closed-loop insulin management systems are poised to transform glycemic management. The goal of this review is to provide an overview of glucose monitoring technology, summarize the clinical impact of glucose monitoring accuracy, and highlight emerging and future POC glucose monitoring technologies.

Development of a Versatile Method to Construct Direct Electron Transfer-Type Enzyme Complexes Employing SpyCatcher/SpyTag System. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24031837. [PMID: 36768169 PMCID: PMC9915066 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24031837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Revised: 01/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
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.

Highly Sensitive ZnO/Au Nanosquare Arrays Electrode for Glucose Biosensing by Electrochemical and Optical Detection. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 28:molecules28020617.

Abstract
The fabrication of a ZnO/Au nanosquare-array electrode was successfully carried out for the detection of glucose concentration in biomedical applications. The fabrication of the ZnO/Au nanosquare array using an ultra-thin alumina mask (UTAM) based on the imprinted anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template and the direct current (DC) sputtering method was able to produce a very well-ordered nanosquare arrangement with a side size of 300 nm and a thickness of 100 nm. Tests were done to evaluate the performance of the electrode by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) which showed that the addition of glucose oxidase (GOx) increased the sensitivity of the electrode up to 1180 ± 116 μA mM-1cm-2, compared with its sensitivity prior to the addition of GOx of 188.34 ± 18.70 mA mM-1 cm-2. A iox/ired ratio equal to ~1 between the peaks of redox reactions was obtained for high (hyperglycemia), normal, and low (hypoglycemia) levels of glucose. The ZnO/Au nanosquare-array electrode was 7.54% more sensitive than the ZnO/Au thin-film electrode. Furthermore, finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations and theoretical calculations of the energy density of the electric and magnetic fields produced by the ZnO/Au electrode were carried out and compared to the results of CV. From the results of CV, FDTD simulation, and theoretical calculations, it was confirmed that the ZnO/Au nanosquare array possessed a significant optical absorption and that the quantum effect from the nanosquare array resulted in a higher sensitivity than the thin film.

Immobilization of Glucose Oxidase on Glutathione Capped CdTe Quantum Dots for Bioenergy Generation. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
An efficient immobilization of Glucose oxidase (GOx) on an appropriate substrate is one of the main challenges of developing fuel cells that allow energy to be obtained from renewable substrates such as carbohydrates in physiological environments. The research importance of biofuel cells relies on their experimental robustness and high compatibility with biological organisms such as tissues or the bloodstream with the aim of obtaining electrical energy even from living systems. In this work, we report the use of 5,10,15,20 tetrakis (1-methyl-4-pyridinium) porphyrin and glutathione capped CdTe Quantum dots (GSH-CdTeQD) as a support matrix for the immobilization of GOx on carbon surfaces. Fluorescent GSH-CdTeQD particles were synthesized and their characterization by UV-Vis spectrophotometry showed a particle size between 5–7 nm, which was confirmed by DLS and TEM measurements. Graphite and Toray paper electrodes were modified by a drop coating of porphyrin, GSH-CdTeQD and GOx, and their electrochemical activity toward glucose oxidation was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Additionally, GOx modified electrode activity was explored by scanning electrochemical microscopy, finding that near to 70% of the surface was covered with active enzyme. The modified electrodes showed a glucose sensitivity of 0.58 ± 0.01 μA/mM and an apparent Michaelis constant of 7.8 mM. The addition of BSA blocking protein maintained the current response of common interferent molecules such as ascorbic acid (AA) with less than a 5% of interference percentage. Finally, the complex electrodes were employed as anodes in a microfluidic biofuel cell (μBFC) in order to evaluate the performance in energy production. The enzymatic anodes used in the μBFC allowed us to obtain a current density of 7.53 mAcm−2 at the maximum power density of 2.30 mWcm−2; an open circuit potential of 0.57 V was observed in the biofuel cell. The results obtained suggest that the support matrix porphyrin and GSH-CdTeQD is appropriate to immobilize GOx while preserving the enzyme’s catalytic activity. The reported electrode arrangement is a viable option for bioenergy production and/or glucose quantification.

Abstract
During product isolation the received bioreceptors often do not exhibit a sufficient biochemical activity due to multistep dissociation and loss of cofactors. However, for bioelectrochemical applications the presence of cofactors is necessary for a successful oxidative or reductive conversion of the substrates to the products. Herein, we show how the immobilization of the required electroplated cofactors in a design of amperometric electrodes can in situ assist the activity of apo-enzymes. Compared to conventional approaches used in enzyme engineering this tailored nanoengineering methodology is superior from economic point of view, labor and time costs, storage conditions, reduced amount of waste and can fill the gap in the development of tuned bioelectrocatalysts.

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.

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.

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
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
Rapid glucose testing is very important in the care of diabetes. Monitoring of blood glucose is the most critical indicator of disease control in diabetic patients. The invention and popularity of electrochemical sensors have made glucose detection fast and inexpensive. The first generation of glucose sensors had limitations in terms of sensitivity and selectivity. In order to overcome these problems, scientists have used a range of new materials to produce new glucose electrochemical sensors with higher sensitivity, selectivity and lower cost. A variety of different electrochemical sensors including enzymatic electrochemical sensors and enzyme-free electrochemical sensors have been extensively investigated. We discussed the development process of electrochemical glucose sensors in this review. We focused on describing the benefits of carbon materials in nanomaterials, specially graphene for sensors. In addition, we discussed the limitations of the sensors and challenges in future research.

Abstract
The accurate determination of analyte concentrations with selective, fast, and robust methods is the key for process control, product analysis, environmental compliance, and medical applications. Enzyme-based biosensors meet these requirements to a high degree and can be operated with simple, cost efficient, and easy to use devices. This review focuses on enzymes capable of direct electron transfer (DET) to electrodes and also the electrode materials which can enable or enhance the DET type bioelectrocatalysis. It presents amperometric biosensors for the quantification of important medical, technical, and environmental analytes and it carves out the requirements for enzymes and electrode materials in DET-based third generation biosensors. This review critically surveys enzymes and biosensors for which DET has been reported. Single- or multi-cofactor enzymes featuring copper centers, hemes, FAD, FMN, or PQQ as prosthetic groups as well as fusion enzymes are presented. Nanomaterials, nanostructured electrodes, chemical surface modifications, and protein immobilization strategies are reviewed for their ability to support direct electrochemistry of enzymes. The combination of both biosensor elements-enzymes and electrodes-is evaluated by comparison of substrate specificity, current density, sensitivity, and the range of detection.

Abstract
Carbon-based electrodes have demonstrated great promise as electrochemical transducers in the development of biosensors. More recently, laser-induced graphene (LIG), a graphene derivative, appears as a great candidate due to its superior electron transfer characteristics, high surface area and simplicity in its synthesis. The continuous interest in the development of cost-effective, more stable and reliable biosensors for glucose detection make them the most studied and explored within the academic and industry community. In this work, the electrochemistry of glucose oxidase (GOx) adsorbed on LIG electrodes is studied in detail. In addition to the well-known electroactivity of free flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), the cofactor of GOx, at the expected half-wave potential of -0.490 V vs. Ag/AgCl (1 M KCl), a new well-defined redox pair at 0.155 V is observed and shown to be related to LIG/GOx interaction. A systematic study was undertaken in order to understand the origin of this activity, including scan rate and pH dependence, along with glucose detection tests. Two protons and two electrons are involved in this reaction, which is shown to be sensitive to the concentration of glucose, restraining its origin to the electron transfer from FAD in the active site of GOx to the electrode via direct or mediated by quinone derivatives acting as mediators.

Abstract
The detection of glucose is crucial in the management of diabetes and other medical conditions but also crucial in a wide range of industries such as food and beverages. The development of glucose sensors in the past century has allowed diabetic patients to effectively manage their disease and has saved lives. First-generation glucose sensors have considerable limitations in sensitivity and selectivity which has spurred the development of more advanced approaches for both the medical and industrial sectors. The wide range of application areas has resulted in a range of materials and fabrication techniques to produce novel glucose sensors that have higher sensitivity and selectivity, lower cost, and are simpler to use. A major focus has been on the development of enzymatic electrochemical sensors, typically using glucose oxidase. However, non-enzymatic approaches using direct electrochemistry of glucose on noble metals are now a viable approach in glucose biosensor design. This review discusses the mechanisms of electrochemical glucose sensing with a focus on the different generations of enzymatic-based sensors, their recent advances, and provides an overview of the next generation of non-enzymatic sensors. Advancements in manufacturing techniques and materials are key in propelling the field of glucose sensing, however, significant limitations remain which are highlighted in this review and requires addressing to obtain a more stable, sensitive, selective, cost efficient, and real-time glucose sensor.

Abstract
Layered molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) nanosheets were formed by the weak Van der Waals forces of attraction between Se and Mo atoms. MoSe2 has a larger space between the adjacent layers and smaller band gaps in the range of 0.85 to ~ 1.6 eV. In this study, MoSe2 nanosheets decorated nickel oxide (NiO) nanorods have been synthesized by hydrothermal method using sodium molybdate and selenium metal powder. NiO/MoSe2 composite formation was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction analysis. In addition, the presence of MoSe2 nanosheets on NiO nanorods were confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Nyquist plots of NiO/MoSe2 coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was indicated that it had lower charge transfer resistance compared to NiO/GCE and MoSe2/GCE. Furthermore, as-prepared NiO/MoSe2/GCE was used to detect glucose in alkaline solution by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry techniques. The NiO/MoSe2/GCE was exhibited a linear response for the oxidation of glucose from 50 µM to 15.5 mM (R2 = 0.9842) at 0.5 V by amperometry. The sensor response time and the limit of detection were found to be 2 s and 0.6 µM for glucose. Moreover, selectivity of the NiO/MoSe2 sensor was tested in the presence of common interferent molecules such as hydrogen peroxide, fructose, lactose, ascorbic acid, uric acid, and dopamine. It was found that NiO/MoSe2/GCE did not respond to these interfering biomolecules. In addition, NiO/MoSe2/GCE had shown high stability, reproducibility and repeatability. Finally, the practical application of the sensor was demonstrated by detecting glucose in human blood serum with the acceptable recovery.

Abstract
A comprehensive review of the electroactive materials for non-enzymatic glucose sensing and sensing devices has been performed in this work. A general introduction for glucose sensing, a facile electrochemical technique for glucose detection, and explanations of fundamental mechanisms for the electro-oxidation of glucose via the electrochemical technique are conducted. The glucose sensing materials are classified into five major systems: (1) mono-metallic materials, (2) bi-metallic materials, (3) metallic-oxide compounds, (4) metallic-hydroxide materials, and (5) metal-metal derivatives. The performances of various systems within this decade have been compared and explained in terms of sensitivity, linear regime, the limit of detection (LOD), and detection potentials. Some promising materials and practicable methodologies for the further developments of glucose sensors have been proposed. Firstly, the atomic deposition of alloys is expected to enhance the selectivity, which is considered to be lacking in non-enzymatic glucose sensing. Secondly, by using the modification of the hydrophilicity of the metallic-oxides, a promoted current response from the electro-oxidation of glucose is expected. Lastly, by taking the advantage of the redistribution phenomenon of the oxide particles, the usage of the noble metals is foreseen to be reduced.

Abstract
The electrochemical-based detection of glucose is widely used for diagnostic purposes and is mediated by enzyme-mediated signal transduction mechanisms. For such applications, recent attention has focused on utilizing the oxygen-insensitive glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) enzyme in place of the glucose oxidase (GOx) enzyme, which is sensitive to oxygen levels. Currently used Ru-based redox mediators mainly work with GOx, while Ru(dmo-bpy)2Cl2 has been proposed as a promising mediator that works with GDH. However, there remains an outstanding need to improve Ru(dmo-bpy)2Cl2 attachment to electrode surfaces. Herein, we report the use of polydopamine-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (PDA-MWCNTs) to effectively attach Ru(dmo-bpy)2Cl2 and GDH onto screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) without requiring a cross-linker. PDA-MWCNTs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), while the fabrication and optimization of Ru(dmo-bpy)2Cl2/PDA-MWCNT/SPCEs were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The experimental results demonstrate a wide linear range of glucose-concentration-dependent responses and the multi-potential step (MPS) technique facilitated the selective detection of glucose in the presence of physiologically relevant interfering species, as well as in biological fluids (e.g., serum). The ease of device fabrication and high detection performance demonstrate a viable pathway to develop glucose sensors based on the GDH enzyme and Ru(dmo-bpy)2Cl2 redox mediator and the sensing strategy is potentially extendable to other bioanalytes as well.

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. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 177:112984.

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
Carbohydrates are widely abundant molecules present in a variety of forms. For their biosynthesis and modification, nature has evolved a plethora of carbohydrate-acting enzymes. Many of these enzymes are of particular interest for biotechnological applications, where they can be used as biocatalysts or biosensors. Among the enzymes catalysing conversions of carbohydrates are the carbohydrate oxidases. These oxidative enzymes belong to different structural families and use different cofactors to perform the oxidation reaction of CH-OH bonds in carbohydrates. The variety of carbohydrate oxidases available in nature reflects their specificity towards different sugars and selectivity of the oxidation site. Thanks to their properties, carbohydrate oxidases have received a lot of attention in basic and applied research, such that nowadays their role in biotechnological processes is of paramount importance. In this review we provide an overview of the available knowledge concerning the known carbohydrate oxidases. The oxidases are first classified according to their structural features. After a description on their mechanism of action, substrate acceptance and characterisation, we report on the engineering of the different carbohydrate oxidases to enhance their employment in biocatalysis and biotechnology. In the last part of the review we highlight some practical applications for which such enzymes have been exploited.

Abstract
This review summarizes the fundamentals of the phenomenon of electron transfer (ET) reactions occurring in redox enzymes that were widely employed for the development of electroanalytical devices, like biosensors, and enzymatic fuel cells (EFCs). A brief introduction on the ET observed in proteins/enzymes and its paradigms (e.g., classification of ET mechanisms, maximal distance at which is observed direct electron transfer, etc.) are given. Moreover, the theoretical aspects related to direct electron transfer (DET) are resumed as a guideline for newcomers to the field. Snapshots on the ET theory formulated by Rudolph A. Marcus and on the mathematical model used to calculate the ET rate constant formulated by Laviron are provided. Particular attention is devoted to the case of glucose oxidase (GOx) that has been erroneously classified as an enzyme able to transfer electrons directly. Thereafter, all tools available to investigate ET issues are reported addressing the discussions toward the development of new methodology to tackle ET issues. In conclusion, the trends toward upcoming practical applications are suggested as well as some directions in fundamental studies of bioelectrochemistry.
