β¦ Synopsis
Bilirubin oxidase (EC 1.3.3.5) catalyzes the oxidation of bilirubin to biliverdin with the concurrent reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. A platinum electrode was prepared with an immobilized bilirubin oxidase membrane. Bilirubin was determined by monitoring the increase in hydrogen peroxide concentration from the enzyme reaction. The calibration plot for bilirubin shows linearity up to 300 pM. The detection limit is 0.7 pM.

An amperometric enzyme electrode for the determination of aspartame in protein-free samples has been constructed. It is based on the coimmobilization of an aspartamehydrolyzing enzyme, aspartate aminotransferase, and glutamate oxidase on an Immobilon membrane. The electrode response is linear from \
Since a stable alcohol oxidase with a high specific activity is not commercially available, we propose to produce and purify this enzyme from a strain of the yeast Han- senula polymorpha. This alcohol oxidase was immobilized into a gelatin matrix and its activity was estimated by a pOz sensor. The e
