Enzymes for Diagnostics

The principle of using enzymes to diagnose and analyze biological abnormalities is based on the fact that the activity of endogenous enzymes is sensitive to the health condition. Alternatively, enzymes can also be used to detect changes in the substrate concentrations, which could also be indicative of physiological disturbances. For example, using cholesterol oxidase for quantification of cholesterol can reveal potential cardiovascular diseases or high blood pressure.

The activity of endogenous enzymes is sensitive to the health condition, which sets the principle of using enzymes for diagnostics and analyze biological abnormalities. Alternatively, enzymes can also be used to detect changes in the substrate concentrations, also indicative of physiological disturbances. For example, using cholesterol oxidase for quantification of cholesterol can reveal potential cardiovascular diseases or high blood pressure. Enzymes can also be used in biotechnologies for development of analysis and detection methods, such as coupled multi-enzyme reaction assays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Creative Enzymes provides high purity enzyme products which can be applied in development of diagnosis and analysis tools, covering oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, and ligases.
