Definition
Biosensing materials are materials that enable the detection and quantification of specific target biomolecules using two functions, i.e., molecular recognition and signal transduction, by taking advantage of unique structures and their changes of polymeric nanomaterials.
Introduction
Biosensing materials are defined as materials enabling the detection and quantification of target biomolecules including small molecules like amino acids, saccharides, vitamins, and lipids, as well as macromolecules such as proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids. In addition, in recent years, bacteria, cells, and even organs in a living body become the target of biosensing materials (see entry on “Bioimaging Materials”). In general, biosensing system contains two functions: molecular recognition and signal transduction. The typical example is a biosensor which combines a biological component, such as enzymes,...
