A common example of a commercial biosensor is the blood glucose biosensor, which uses the enzyme glucose oxidase to break blood glucose down. In doing so it first oxidizes glucose and uses two electrons to reduce the FAD (a component of the enzyme) to FADH 2. This in turn is oxidized by the electrode in a number of steps.
The optical density (OD) at 550 nm is used to calculate the percentage of viability results using the following equation: [15] Viability % = 100 × OD550e / OD550b. where: OD550e = Mean value of the measured optical density of the test item; OD550b = Mean value of the measured optical density of the negative control
[10] While under standard conditions malate cannot reduce the more electronegative NAD +:NADH couple, in the cell the concentration of oxaloacetate is kept low enough that Malate dehydrogenase can reduce NAD + to NADH during the citric acid cycle. Fumarate + 2 H + + 2 e − → Succinate +0.03 [9] O 2 + 2H + + 2e − → H 2 O 2 +0.30
Glucose oxidase is widely used coupled to peroxidase reaction that visualizes colorimetrically the formed H 2 O 2, for the determination of free glucose in sera or blood plasma for diagnostics, using spectrometric assays manually or with automated procedures, and even point-of-use rapid assays.
In immunohistochemistry the alkaline phosphatase is often used as a marker, conjugated to an antibody.The colored product can either be of the NBT/BCIP reaction reveals where the antibody is bound, or can be used in immunofluorescence.
In rat liver, the total amount of NAD + and NADH is approximately 1 μmole per gram of wet weight, about 10 times the concentration of NADP + and NADPH in the same cells. [17] The actual concentration of NAD + in cell cytosol is harder to measure, with recent estimates in animal cells ranging around 0.3 mM , [ 18 ] [ 19 ] and approximately 1.0 ...

d -Glucose + 2 [NAD] + + 2 [ADP] + 2 [P] i 2 × Pyruvate 2 × + 2 [NADH] + 2 H + + 2 [ATP] + 2 H 2 O Glycolysis pathway overview The use of symbols in this equation makes it appear unbalanced with respect to oxygen atoms, hydrogen atoms, and charges. Atom balance is maintained by the two phosphate (P i) groups: Each exists in the form of a hydrogen phosphate anion, dissociating to contribute ...
