This study describes a new strategy for real-time detection of alcohol in saliva and sweat.
Phosphotungstic acid (PTA) is a colorless, photoelectrochromic heteropoly acid that can be …

Assembling functional molecules on the surface of an enzyme electrode is the most basic
technique for constructing a biosensor. However, precise control of electron transfer …

We previously reported that ferritin acts as a photocatalyst to form monodispersed gold
nanoparticles. Because silver possesses a favorable reduction potential (+ 0.80 V), we …
