The term “biosensor” is short for “biological sensor” and is a device made up of a transducer and a biological element that may be an enzyme, an antibody, or a nucleic acid. The biological ...

Protein stability affects the physiological functions of proteins and is also a desirable trait in many protein engineering tasks, yet improving protein stability is challenging because of limitations ...

Researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) demonstrate an enzyme-based biosensor in the form of an electrospun polymer mesh that can detect volatile organic compounds, which may ...

Improving the performance of biosensors: Developing new materials for effectively harnessing the power of enzymes Date: January 30, 2025 Source: University of Tsukuba Summary: Researchers have ...

However, most conventional biosensors require keeping the enzyme in a wet condition so that they do not become denatured and lose their ability to catalyze reactions.

A self-powered biosensor detects and destroys E. coli using enzyme-driven energy, aptamer-based recognition, and silver ion release for real-time safety.

This study presents a novel approach using metal-organic frameworks to enhance enzyme-electrode interactions, advancing biosensor technology and applications.

Chemical immobilization of electro-active enzymes on conducting nanocrystalline-diamond thin films is laying the basis for diamond-based electrochemical biosensors and bio-interfaces.

This innovative strategy enables highly efficient and stable long-term measurements of the enzyme-based biosensor. This achievement has potential future applications in various fields, such as ...
