Application

Creatinine Deiminase microbial has been used:
  • to immobilize aminosilylated glass beads based biosensor for ammonia/ammonium and creatinine detection in urine
  • in creating creatinine-sensing membrane for biophysical studies
  • to investigate the bioelectronic tongue for the simultaneous determination of urea, creatinine and alkaline ions in clinical samples

Creatinine deiminase has been used in a study to assess the application of a creatinine-sensitive biosensor for hemodialysis control. Creatinine deiminase has also been used in a study to investigate the bioelectronic tongue for the simultaneous determination of urea, creatinine and alkaline ions in clinical samples.

Creatinine iminohydrolase (EC 3.5.4.21), which catalyzes hydrolysis of creatinine to N-methylhydantoin and ammonia, was purified from Flavobacterium filamentosum. The average molecular weight of the purified enzyme was 272,480, and the subunit molecular weight was 44,300. Extensive specificity studies indicated that
