Abstract
Apparatus, methods, and systems for detecting alcohol concentrations of an individual, and in particular in vivo alcohol concentrations of an individual. Alcohol sensing compositions include at least one alcohol-responsive active area comprising a concerted enzyme system having at least a first enzyme and second enzyme capable of acting in concert to facilitate the detection of alcohol. At least one of the enzymes in the concerted enzyme system is a ketoreductase.
