Enzymes for Biosensors

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Fundamentals of Enzyme Engineering

Abstract

A biosensor is defined by the National Research Council of the USA as a detection device that incorporates (1) a living organism or product derived from living systems (e.g., an enzyme or an antibody) and (2) a transducer to provide an indication, signal, or other form of recognition of the presence of a specific substance in the environment. Biosensors must be able to detect molecules of analytical significance fast, accurately and reliably.
