  Application of Lactase Enzymes as Bio-receptors for the Organic Dye Methylene Blue in a Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor
  Author(s): Akamatsu Yusuke*
  
  The application of lactase enzymes as bioreceptors in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors for detecting organic dyes, specifically methylene blue (MB), represents a novel approach to environmental monitoring and biosensor technology. Methylene blue, a commonly used dye in textile and pharmaceutical industries, poses significant environmental concerns due to its toxicity and persistence in aquatic ecosystems. Conventional methods for detecting methylene blue, such as spectrophotometry or chromatography, often require sophisticated equipment, extensive sample preparation, and high costs. In contrast, SPR biosensors offer a label-free, real-time, and highly sensitive detection platform, making them ideal for monitoring organic pollutants like methylene blue [1]. Lactase enzymes, also known as β-galactosidases, are traditionally used in food and pharmaceutical industries for t.. Read More»
