Some popular areas of application of biosensors include in the food industry, for checking their quality and safety, helping to differentiate between natural and artificial; in the fermentation industry and saccharification processes, for detecting precise glucose concentrations; and in metabolic engineering, for use in Monitor cell metabolism in vivo. ...
Biotinylated nucleic acids are increasingly recognized as powerful tools in molecular biology and genetic research. The incorporation of biotin into nucleic acid molecules, such as DNA and RNA, allows for enhanced detection, isolation, and manipulation of these biomolecules. This article explores the significance, applications, and methodologies related to the use of biotinylated nucleic acids ...
Liposomes are structural entities composed of a lipid bilayer surrounding an aqueous solution. Their distinctive characteristics have led to numerous applications in diverse scientific and technological domains. In the realm of agricultural chemicals, liposomes can be utilized to augment the effectiveness of pesticides and facilitate the delivery of essential nutrients. Several studies have shown ...
BiosensorsThermally stable proteins also have applications in the development of biosensors, used to detect environmental pollutants, pathogens, and other biomarkers.7. ...
·Intracellular Sensors and Biosensors Developing intracellular sensors and biosensors has enabled real-time monitoring of the cytoskeletal dynamics. ...
PEGs have excellent biocompatibility and tunable physical properties and thus are widely used in artificial joints, tissue engineering, biosensors, and other fields. Carboxylic acid PEGs can be used to construct biologically active material surfaces such as cell adhesion and proliferation for tissue engineering and regenerative ...
CYP450 catalyzes the synthesis of natural products such as terpenoids, sterols, and alkaloids, and is widely used in the industry. In addition, the engineering development of CYP, the research and development of biosensors, the mining of the properties of novel CYP, and the continuous development of new enzymes provide the direction for the further application of ...
In recent years, a number of ‘old’ diseases have re-emerged as significant threats to world health, driven by factors such as population migration and modern transportation. Of particular concern is the increase in the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) infection, a highly contagious disease spread through the air when infected people cough, sneeze or spit. According to statistics ...
The statement above relates very well to the demand to measure more and more about our lives—one option available to achieve this improvement is through the development of electrochemical sensors. Sensor manufacturing is in high demand and is expected to grow exponentially in the coming ...

We are becoming more accustomed to continually tracking health metrics with smart wearable devices. The next step will be implantable devices, which provide real-time monitoring of body chemistry. That future is already here and will have significant effects on how individuals and populations monitor their health. Managing risk seeks to assess and control potential adverse outcomes. The ...
In this work we report the development of an electrochemical DNA biosensor with high sensitivity for mercury ion detection. A new matrix based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-glutathione (GSH)/cysteine was investigated. The interaction between DNA oligonucleotides and Hg2+ ions followed by the formation of Thymine–Hg2+–Thymine (T–Hg2+–T) structures was quantified using different electrochemical ...
Abstract An Arxula adeninivorans based microbial biosensor has been developed for the determination of pharmaceuticals and chemicals such as omeprazole, lansoprazole, β-naphtoflavone and methylcholanthrene within 5 h using biochemical detection and 4 h and 10 min using amperometric detection. The biosensor consists of genetically modified A. adeninivorans G1212/YRC102-hAhR-hARNT-phyK (hAhR ...
The present study was conducted to develop a biosensor by exploiting phosphate-binding capacity of exobiopolymer (EBP) produced by Acinetobacter sp. An environmental isolate of EBP-producing Acinetobacter sp. was subjected to transposon (Tn5) mutagenesis to overproduce EBP and afford improved phosphate selectivity. A mutant producing the highest amount of EBP with high phosphate-binding ...
Aptamers and DNAzymes are small single-stranded nucleic acids that fold into a well-defined three-dimensional structure with high specificity to various ligands, such as low-molecular-weight organic or inorganic substrates or macromolecules. Their specificity is comparable with and in certain cases even higher than those of antibodies, and they can be applied for specific detection of various ...
A novel whole-cell arsenite biosensor was developed using the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris no. 7 and characterized. A sensor plasmid containing the operator-promoter region of the ars operon and arsR gene from Escherichia coli and the crtI gene from R. palustris no. 7 was introduced into a blue-green mutant with crtI deleted, R. palustris no. 711. The biosensor ...
Polypyrrole (PPy) is a conducting polymer with emerging applications in biomedical engineering. We report on the synthesis and properties of PPy incorporating biomolecules using AC impedance spectroscopy. ...
