Engineered PQQ-Glucose Dehydrogenase as a Universal Biosensor Platform
Biosensors with direct electron output hold promise for nearly seamless integration with portable electronic devices. However, so far, they have been based on naturally occurring enzymes that significantly limit the spectrum of detectable analytes. Here, we present a novel biosensor architecture based on analyte-driven intermolecular recombination and activity reconstitution of a re-engineered component of glucometers: PQQ-glucose dehydrogenase.

Engineering PQQ-glucose dehydrogenase into an allosteric electrochemical Ca2+ sensor
Electrochemical biosensors convert biological events to an electrical current. To date most electrochemical biosensors exploit activities of naturally occurring enzymes. Here we demonstrated that insertion of a calmodulin domain into the redox enzyme PQQ-glucose dehydrogenase resulted in a selective Ca biosensor that could be used to rapidly measure Ca concentrations in human biological fluids.
