title: Potentiometric phosphate-sensing system utilizing phosphate-binding protein.
abstract: A phosphate-detection system has been developed which uses phosphate-binding protein (PBP) from Escherichia coli. PBP was immobilized on a sheet of nitrocellulose membrane by cross-linking and the membrane potential of the immobilized PBP was measured. The response time of the system to phosphate was 5 min. The response was selective to phosphate among other anions. Under optimum conditions 0.1-1.5 mmol L(-1) phosphate can be determined with this system.
