| Application: | Creatininase from microorganisms may be used in the preparation of amperometric biosensor by co-immobilization with other enzymes for the determination of creatinine. |
| Application: | This enzyme is useful for enzymatic determination of creatinine when coupled with creatine amidinohydrolase, sarcosine dehydrogenase or sarcosine oxidase and formaldehyde dehydrogenase in clinical analysis. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Creatininase from Pseudomonas sp. is a homohexameric enzyme with a molecular mass of 28.4 kDa per subunit. It is a cyclic amidohydrolase catalysing the reversible conversion of creatinine to creatine. Each monomer contains a binuclear zinc centre near the C termini of the β-strands and the N termini of the main α-helices. These zinc ions indicate the location of the active site. |
