  • Biosensor carrying redox enzymes
    Patent number: 7018518
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an electrode carrying immobilized redox enzymes such that electric charge can flow between an electron mediator group to the enzyme cofactor by the use of boronic acid or a boronic acid derivative that acts as a linker moiety between the cofactor and the electron mediator group. The invention also concerns devices and systems that make use of the electrode of the invention, such as bio-sensors and fuel cells, the electrode being one of the components thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of detecting drug resistance
    Publication number: 20040142405
    Abstract: A method for detecting a drug-resistant virus, whose resistance is due to mutations in a viral protease which normally cleaves a substrate into at least two segments. The method comprises providing an electronic transducer having bound thereto a first binding molecule capable of specifically binding a first segment of the substrate and providing a second binding molecule capable of specifically binding a second segment of the substrate, the second binding molecule being capable of bringing about the precipitation of a precipitate on the electronic transducer. Detection of the presence or absence of the precipitate on the electronic transducer indicates the presence or absence of inhibitory activity of the drug. A screening method for potential viral drugs is also disclosed.
