Abstract
Glucose sensing and odorant molecules sensing are used as a models to explore the advantages and problems deriving from the use of either enzymes or odorant-binding proteins to develop stable optical biosensors. We report on a novel approach to address the problem of substrate consumption by sensors based on enzymes, namely the utilization of apoenzymes as non-active forms of the protein which are still able to bind the substrate/ligand. We also show studies in which the isolation of an odorant-binding protein from the nose of the dog is used as non-consuming analyte probe for the realization of an integrated optical sensor.
