With glucose oxidase once again readily available — from bakery and wine-making suppliers — [Markus] started playing with the chemistry.

Summary Glucose oxidase, also known as β-D-glucose: oxygen 1-oxidoreductase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of β-D-glucose (a simple sugar) into D-glucono-δ-lactone and hydrogen peroxide.

The resulting transistor is made of thin layers of indium oxide and zinc oxide, two semiconductors, with the enzyme glucose oxidase on the surface. This enzyme selectively binds to and oxidizes any ...
