Usage

Description

Sarcosine oxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of sarcosine to glycine and formaldehyde, utilizing covalently bound flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as a cofactor. It is derived from Bacillus sp. and plays a crucial role in the metabolism of amino acids.

Uses

Used in Research Applications:
Sarcosine oxidase is used as a positive control for the detection of proteins with covalently bound flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) by UV spectroscopy. This helps in the identification and characterization of proteins with similar properties.
Used in Biosensor Development:
Sarcosine oxidase is used in the co-immobilization with other enzymes on a platinum electrode for the preparation of a creatinine biosensor. This biosensor is designed to detect and measure creatinine levels, which is an important biomarker for kidney function and muscle metabolism. The use of sarcosine oxidase in this application enhances the sensitivity and specificity of the biosensor, making it a valuable tool in medical diagnostics and research.
