Assessment 2 – Enzymes and Medicine
Enzymes can be used to detect and measure amounts of glucose in blood. The amount of glucose in the blood and urine is a crucial indicator in the diagnosis of diabetes; this is when there is a deficiency of insulin resulting in high glucose levels in the blood. It is detected using the enzyme glucose oxidize which is impregnated onto a strip of paper, and a biosensor. This instrument uses glucose oxegen as its biological system.

Enzymes are very important when coming to diagnose disease; this is
because if enzymes are present where they should not be then something
may be wrong. An example of this is in the case of a damaged liver.
Enzymes that would be normally found in the liver, leak into the blood
stream. By testing the blood for alternate enzyme activity liver
damage can be confirmed.
