Application. One way to test for glucose oxidase and all the reagents necessary for the reaction: glucose us to place a drop of blood on a strip of paper containing the enzyme B-D-glucose + O2 → D-gluconolactone + H2O2 The H2O2 produced causes a color change in the paper, which can be used to measure the amount of glucose in the blood. Most common dietary sugar is sucrose which is a dimer of a-D glucose and B-D- fructose. If the enzyme glucose oxidase is specific for the B glucose anomer, how then can the reaction above be uses to determine the glucose levels in the blood? Hint: aD-glucose + B-D-glucose exist in an equilibrium
