Coupled enzyme assays are described for measuring inorganic phosphates, organic phosphates and phosphate-liberating enzymes in biological material. The assays all determine Pi by its reaction with inosine, catalysed by nucleoside phosphorylase; this yields ribose 1-phosphate and hypoxanthine. The hypoxanthine is oxidized to uric acid by xanthine oxidase, and may be measured either by the absorbance of the uric acid, or by the formazan formed when a tetrazolium salt is used as the oxidant. The coupled enzyme assays are characterized by high sensitivity, quantitative utilization of phosphates and stoichiometric formation of the measurable products, measurement at pH 6.0-8.5, determination of phosphates within a single analytical step, and continuous measurement of phosphohydrolase activity in a corresponding rate assay. Examples include determinations of substrates such as Pi, PPi and AMP, and of enzymes such as 5′-nucleotidase, inorganic pyrophosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase. Directions for further examples are given.

AuNPs(EDAS) – rGO nanocomposites were prepared by a facile one step sonochemical synthesis process. Here, EDAS acts as an interlinker for anchoring gold on rGO and it also acts both as a reducing agent and a stabilizing agent. The AuNPs(EDAS) – rGO nanocomposites show excellent electro-catalytic activity towards oxidation of DA and UA. The AuNPs(EDAS) – rGO nanocomposites exhibit low detection limits, high sensitivity, it could be a potential candidate for sensing application and in biosensor technology in the future.

Water soluble and biocompatible 3-mercaptopropionic acid capped gallium selenide nanocrystals, were synthesized from hydrated gallium (III) perchlorate and selenide ions. The 3-mercaptopropionic acid capped gallium selenide nanocrystals, was non-fluorescent but showed a sharp UV-vis absorption maximum at 250 nm.The synthesized nanoparticle was used to develop an electrochemical biosensor for the detection of 17-alpha-ethinyl estradiol, an estrogenic endocrine disrupting compound (e-EDC). The biosensor was fabricated by potentiostatic deposition of novel gallium selenide nanocrystals on a L-cystine modified gold electrode, followed by covalent coupling of genetically engineered cytochrome P450-3A4 (CYP3A4), a Heme containing enzyme. The biosensor gave an electrochemical response at about-220 mV. The results revealed that 3-Mecarptopropanoic acid capped Gallium Selenide nanocrystals can be used in conjunction with CYP3A4 as an electrode modifier for the detection of 17-alpha ethinyl estradiol. The 3-Mecarptopropanoic acid capped Gallium Selenide nanoparticles exhibited a semiconductor like behaviour.

We synthesized calcinated β-NiS with a highly crystalline porous nature and mixed it with Ppy to prepare a nanocomposite, which exhibited high electrocatalytic activity and this was then used to detect theophylline and uric acid with high sensitivity and stability.
