Abstract:
A method for cleaving a disulfide bond in a protein includes: cleaving a disulfide bond in a protein present in a reaction system by reduction via a reduced redox protein; and reducing an oxidized redox protein produced by oxidation of the reduced redox protein in the cleaving to the reduced redox protein by donating an electron from an electrode connected to an external power supply outside the reaction system to the oxidized redox protein.
Abstract:
A target molecule redox method includes: a first process of bringing a liquid containing a target molecule to a non-flowing state, and causing electron transfer between an electron carrier immobilized on an electrode connected to an external power supply outside the liquid and the target molecule to oxidize or reduce the target molecule; and a second process of bringing the liquid to a flowing state. The first process and the second process are sequentially repeated.
Abstract:
An exemplary apparatus for measuring the concentration of a test substance in an organism disclosed herein includes: a measurement system which measures first and second concentrations that are concentrations of the test substance at positions A and B, respectively, where the positions A and B are located inside of the organism but outside of the blood vessel of the organism, and the position B is located more distant from the blood vessel than the position A is; and a decision circuit which determines, based on the first and second concentrations, whether or not an equilibrium has been established yet between a concentration of the test substance inside of the blood vessel and a concentration of the test substance measured at a position inside of the organism but outside of the blood vessel of the organism.
Abstract:
An allergen inactivation method includes an inactivation step of inactivating an allergen present in a reaction system by reduction via a reduced redox protein, and a reduction process of reducing an oxidized redox protein produced by oxidation of the reduced redox protein in the inactivating to the reduced redox protein by donating an electron from an electrode connected to an external power supply outside the reaction system to the oxidized redox protein.
Abstract:
An immobilized enzyme electrode includes: an electrode; a redox enzyme that oxidizes or reduces a target molecule; and an electron carrier that performs electron transport between the electrode and the redox enzyme. The electron carrier is immobilized on the electrode via a first linker that is in a form of a chain, and the redox enzyme is immobilized on the electrode via a second linker that is longer than the first linker, the second linker being in a form of a chain.

Abstract:
A sensor embedding device according to the present disclosure is a sensor embedding device which embeds a sensor in a subject, the sensor having a sensing region in which to detect a state of the subject, including: a needle to be inserted in the subject, the needle having a hole; a sensor retainer to retain the sensor so that the sensor is ready to be embedded inside the subject in such a manner that the sensing region is oriented in a predetermined direction; and a movable section to move the sensor into the subject with a slide of the sensor retainer inside the hole.
