Biosensors: Biomimetic Sensors

Abstract

This article describes biomimetic sensors, a class of chemical sensing and biosensing devices that adapt synthetic components that mimick the function of biomacromolecules such as antibodies and biological receptors. The biomimetic sensors offer unique advantages as they often exhibit higher stability and/or they can be manufactured with lower costs in comparison to their biological counterparts. This article aims to introduce the previously reported works on biomimetic sensors with a particular focus on the transducers being used for signal readout, types of biomimetic components being used, and how each biomimetic components are prepared and coupled with the transducers.
