  • PROTEIN HAVING FLAVIN ADENINE DINUCLEOTIDE-DEPENDENT GLUCOSE DEHYDROGENASE ACTIVITY
    Publication number: 20150267178
    Abstract: The present invention provides a protein derived from a thermophilic filamentous fungus having flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase activity. The present invention provides an enzyme for glucose measurement that has better thermal stability than that of conventional enzymes while being unaffected by dissolved oxygen, not requiring the addition of a coenzyme, and maintaining the excellent properties of FADGDH in terms of having excellent substrate specificity (particularly low reactivity with maltose).
