Commentary regarding: “Activity determination of FAD‐dependent glucose dehydrogenase immobilized in PEDOT: PSS‐PVA composite films for biosensor applications”

Abstract

In the light of continuous improvement and optimization, recent experiments that the authors conducted give new insights into the applied evaluation method of Riegel et al. [1]: Thorough investigations of the previous results regarding the usage of the Lowry Assay showed discrepancies in the determination of the released amount of protein in the analysis solution. The accurate quantification of this parameter is crucial as it directly influences the calculation of the residual enzymatic activity. In concrete terms, this finding has a major impact on the presented and discussed results in the article “Activity determination of FAD‐dependent glucose dehydrogenase immobilized in PEDOT: PSS‐PVA composite films for biosensor applications” [1]. Thus, this commentary addresses the new insights concerning the applied evaluation method, explains necessary revisions and discusses new conclusions derived from the adjusted evaluation method.
