An optical biosensor based on immobilised carbonic anhydrase and its application to the determination of the anti-glaucoma agent acetazolamide by enzyme inhibition measurements, is described. The enzyme and a pH indicator dye, cresol red, were physically immobilised in overlapped sol-gel

The kinetics of H+/OH- diffusion across dimyristoyl phosphatidic acid bilayer membranes was measured by following the absorbance of the pH-sensitive indicator Cresol red (o-cresolsulfonphthalein) entrapped in single lamellar vesicles after rapidly changing the external pH in a stopped-flow apparatus.

If buffer/indicator systems are used as optical thermometers in multicuvettes, the temperature resolution is limited by errors of optical measurements produced mainly by variations of pathlength and blank transmittance of the wells. Theoretical and practical approaches show that, in multicuvettes

Analytical biochemistry, 137(1), 80-87 (1984-02-01)
A highly sensitive quantitative method was developed to detect protons released or taken up upon ligand binding. A small change in pH due to proton release or uptake was detected by measuring the difference in the absorbance of a pH
