Immobilized enzyme-based enzyme electrode biosensors, characterized by high sensitivity and efficiency, strong specificity, and compact size, demonstrate broad application prospects in life science research, disease diagnosis and monitoring, etc. Immobilization of enzyme is a critical step in determining the performance (stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility) of the biosensors. Random immobilization (physical adsorption, covalent cross-linking, etc.) can easily bring about problems, such as decreased enzyme activity and relatively unstable immobilization. Whereas, directional immobilization utilizing amino acid residue mutation, affinity peptide fusion, or nucleotide-specific binding to restrict the orientation of the enzymes provides new possibilities to solve the problems caused by random immobilization. In this paper, the principles, advantages and disadvantages and the application progress of enzyme electrode biosensors of different directional immobilization strategies for enzyme molecular sensing elements by specific amino acids (lysine, histidine, cysteine, unnatural amino acid) with functional groups introduced based on site-specific mutation, affinity peptides (gold binding peptides, carbon binding peptides, carbohydrate binding domains) fused through genetic engineering, and specific binding between nucleotides and target enzymes (proteins) were reviewed, and the application fields, advantages and limitations of various immobilized enzyme interface characterization techniques were discussed, hoping to provide theoretical and technical guidance for the creation of high-performance enzyme sensing elements and the manufacture of enzyme electrode sensors.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of flumatinib (FM)and imatinib (IM)as first-line treatment in newly-diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP ) in real world. Methods:A total of 84 newly-diagnosed CP-CML patients in our center from December 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,32 cases received FM as first-line treatment,and 52 cases received IM. Molecular response (MR),disease progression,survival and incidence of adverse events (AEs)were compared between the two groups.Results:At 3 months of treatment,the incidences of early molecular response (EMR ),MR2.0 and MR3.0 were 96.7%,70.0% and 20.0% in FM group,respectively,which were significantly higher than 77.1%,29. 2% and 0 in IM group (all P<0.05 ).At 6,9 and 12 months of treatment,the incidences of major molecular response (MMR)in FM group were 68.2%,85.7% and 90.0%,respectively,which were significantly higher than 22.9%,34.0% and 51.1% in IM group (all P<0.01).The median time to achieve MMR in FM group was 6(6-9)months,which was significantly shorter than 18(12-22)months in IM group (P<0.001 ).The 3-year progression-free survival rate and 3-year event-free survival rate in FM group were 100% and 68.8%,respectively,while in IM group were 98.1% and 55.8%.There were no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of grade 3-4 hematologic AEs in FM group was 21 .9%,which was slightly lower than 25.0% in IM group,but the difference was not significant (P>0.05 ).Conclusion:In real clinical practice,FM as first-line treatment achieves MMR earlier than IM,and exhibits good safety profile in newly-diagnosed CML-CP patients,which potentially leads to improved long-term survival and treatment-free remission.
