Chapter 10 Non-affinity sensing technology: the exploitation of biocatalytic events for environmental analysis

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on well-recognized and emerging biocatalytic approaches that can be applied to the screening or monitoring of environmentally relevant chemical species for assessment good ecological status. The discusses classic catalytic well-characterized enzyme reactions as well other events in living systems elicit useful bioanalytical information through catabolic activities. exploitation affinity interactions—in particular, immunoreactions—for environmental applications is presented. describes biosensors within area selection specific parameters evaluation new challenges preserve environment. bioengineering tools are currently expanding improving approach presented chapter.
