Chapter
Since nitric oxide (NO) was biologically identified as an endothelium-derived relaxing factor in 1987 [1], there has been a great increase in the research of its chemistry, biology, and therapeutic actions. In...
Chapter
Taste and smell are the two human senses that are chemical in nature. However, they have not been as successfully replicated with sensors, probably because of the complexity of the human system [1]. Although ...
Chapter
The unique properties of nanoscale materials (1–200 nm) offer excellent platforms for electronic or optical signal transduction and the design of a new generation of bioelectronic and biosensing devices. Howev...
Chapter
Carbohydrates, which are defined as polyhydroxyaldehydes or polyhydroxyketones, or larger compounds that can be hydrolyzed into such units, are ubiquitous in the living world. Carbohydrates act as the sources ...
Chapter
Accurate, rapid, inexpensive, and selective analysis is required today for use in clinical diagnostics and the food industry. The majority of known electrochemical biosensors are based on immobilized specific ...
Chapter
Nucleic acids, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), are required for the storage and expression of genetic information. DNA is present not only in chromosomes in the nucleus of euk...
Chapter
The history of carbon nanofiber (CNF) can go back more than a century. It was reported in a patent published in 1889 that carbon filaments are grown from carbon-containing gases using a metallic crucible as th...

Technological platforms that provide the reliable, rapid, quantitative, cheap, and high-throughput identification of biomolecules play a significant role in the clinical deployment of personalized treatment [1...
Chapter
Since their discovery, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively investigated as essential platforms in constructing electrochemical biosensors. CNTs can be classified into two basic varieties: single-wall...
Chapter
Chemical sensors and biosensors have attracted considerable attention within the field of modern analytical chemistry, as seen both from the number of publications and from the diversity of approaches and tech...
Chapter
Organophosphorous pesticides (OPs) are widely used in agriculture due to their high effectiveness and low toxicity for pest control and protecting crops and seeds [1, 2]. Their residuals in crops, livestock, a...
Chapter
One of the major goals in develo** novel biological assay methods for the detection of biomolecules and DNA hybridization is achieving high sensitivity. The need for ultrasensitive bioassays is of major imp...
Chapter
There is a continuously increasing demand for the specific and sensitive determination of trace amounts of analytes in complex matrices for various purposes. In this respect, immunoassays and immunosensors t...
Chapter
Porphyrins are an important class of conjugated organic molecules, which can be employed to mimic the active site of many important enzymes, such as hemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), nitric oxide...
Chapter
Cells are the basic units of life. All organisms are made up of cells. Thus, develo** sensing platforms for probing the chemistry and physics in or at a living cell is one of the basic goals in understanding...
Chapter
According to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) definition, porous materials are divided into three classes: microporous (<2 nm), mesoporous (2–50 nm), and macroporous (>50 nm). When...
