Abstract

The glucose dehydrogenase biocatalyzed generation of NADH by the oxidation of glucose enables the fluorescence detection of glucose by methylene-blue-functionalized CdSe/ZnS quantum dots and the colorimetric determination of glucose by the NADH-mediated growth of Au nanoparticles (see image).
