A new heterofunctional amino-vinyl sulfone support to immobilize enzymes: Application to the stabilization of β-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae

TL;DR: The preparation of a new heterofunctional agarose support: amino-vinylsulfone has been employed to immobilize the interesting enzyme β-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae, and some covalent enzyme-support bonds could be formed, more rapidly at alkaline pH value.

Fabrication of a chitosan/glucose oxidase–poly(anilineboronic acid)–Aunano/Au-plated Au electrode for biosensor and biofuel cell

TL;DR: The thus-prepared CS/GOx-PABA-Au(nano)/Au-plated Au electrode worked well in the first-/second generation biosensing modes and as a bioanode in a monopolar biofuel cell, with analytical or cell-power performance superior to those of most analogues hitherto reported.
