How does glucose react with glucose oxidase?
Since you know what Glucose Oxidase is I'm assuming you know what enzymes are. If not, an enzyme is a protein that catalyzes chemical reactions. Glucose oxidase is the enzyme built specifically for Glucose. Glucose Oxidase binds to the six-carbon sugar Glucose and aids the organism in breaking it down into metabolites.
If benedicts reagent turns red what substance is present?
the sugar glucose
What is the formula that use to calculate the concentration of glucose in blood by the principle of Beer-Lambert law and application of glucose oxidase?
patients absorbance/absorbance of the standard*concentration of the standard gives you the glucose concentration of the patients sample
What are the advantages of using the enzymatic method for the determination of blood glucose?
Simply put, the enzymatic method ( eg. glucose oxidase and hexokinase etc.) is the best method for blood glucose concentration because of its specificity. This yeilds maximum specificity for glucose estimation even in a comlpex mixture. Sherry-Ann Ramnarine-Phillips
Is Pseudomonas luteola oxidase positive?
in the absence of glucose or lactose , some bacteria are able to use citrate as only source of carcon. alkaline pH change the bromothymol blue indicator from green to blue. pseudomonas can not ferment the glucose and the lactose so it use the citrate as carbon source.

What does Benedicts reagent do?
It tests for glucose.
If benedicts reagent turns red what substance is present?
the sugar glucose
Why does catalase elute in a wider range of fractions than glucose oxidase does?
Catalase degrades easily at room temperature b. Glucose oxidase is inactivated at low pH c. Glucose oxidase is only active at low pH d. Glucose oxidase has a higher molecular weight than catalase .
What is benedicts solution used to find?
Glucose
Which is the enzyme which catalyses the reaction of glucose to gluconic acid?
Glucose oxidase that converts the carbonyl (aldehyde) carbon of glucose to a carboxylic acid.
How do clinistix work?
The sticks contain enzymes (glucose oxidase and peroxidase) which react in the presense of glucose. The glucose oxidase changes glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide and the peroxidase reacts with that hydrogen peroxide to change a pigment in the stick from neutral color to positive color.
What is the molecular weight of glucose oxidase?
160,000 Daltons
What color is benedicts solution when mixed with bread?
because it contains glucose
What is the formula that use to calculate the concentration of glucose in blood by the principle of Beer-Lambert law and application of glucose oxidase?
patients absorbance/absorbance of the standard*concentration of the standard gives you the glucose concentration of the patients sample
How does Clinistix paper work?
A clinistrip is a urine test strip to measure levels of glucose in urine for diabetics. The small plastic strip has glucose oxidase and an organic dye on one end. The enzyme oxidizes glucose to gluconic acid with the formation of hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide reacts with dye to produce a blue color. Each color corresponds to a specific level of glucose.
What of these substances is an enzyme A. triglyceride B. glucose C. oxidase D. omega-3 fatty acid E. nucleotide?
C. Oxidase is an enzyme.
