  • Publication number: 20240053352
    Abstract: An embodiment according to the present disclosure provides a method for evaluating a degree of glycation of a protein, the method including providing a solution potentially containing a target protein, bringing the solution into contact with a color indicator, bringing the solution into contact with protease, using a first reaction between the color indicator and the target protein to determine a concentration of the target protein in the solution, using a second reaction between the protease and the target protein to determine a concentration of the target protein having been glycated, and determining, based on the concentration of the target protein and the concentration of the target protein having been glycated, a degree of glycation of the target protein.
