In the test given below to estimate blood glucose, which of the following is true:
High-Yield Explanation
Ans. B. Glucose oxidase is highly specific for beta anomer of GlucoseThe reaction in glucometer isGlucose+H2 O+O2 -GODGluconicacid+H2 O2 2H2 O2 +4aminoantipyrine+PHBS-PODQuinoneiminedye+H2 O* This reaction is specific for beta anomer of glucose* Here the first carbon atom is oxidised* This is an example of enzymatic method (Glucose Oxidase Peroxidase method)
