Biosensor-Current and Novel Strategies for Biosensing, Luis Jesús Villarreal-Gómez, Editör, Intechopen, London, ss.21-35, 2021
Biosensor technology has developed extremely rapidly in recent years. This
technology brings along precise measurements as well as specific measurements.
Thanks to its ability to be miniaturized and be easily accessible to the end user, it
is one-step ahead of other similar methods. The selectivity of biological molecules
and the sensitivity of electrochemical methods enable the continuous evolvement
of these new technologies. In this chapter, the use of nucleic acids as both recognition
agents and target molecules, the way they are used in biosensor technology and
their electrical properties are explained in detail with examples. Aptamers, which
are synthetic nucleic acids, and their use in electrochemical biosensor systems
with different electrochemical and immobilization methods have been compared
extensively.
