Glucose oxidase converts glucose to
-
Gluconic acid
-
Glucuronic acid
-
Iduronic acid
-
Galactic acid
exp:
Oxidase-peroxidase enzyme system is used to determine glucose in urine & blood.
Glucose oxidase enzyme produces hydrogen peroxide & gluconic acid from glucose.Peroxidase catalyses the reaction of H2O2, with colourless potassium iodide to brown iodide. This produces a colour change, the intensity of which may indicate glucose concentration in some tests(such as Boehringer, Diastix)
