Description
This title brings to the attention of researchers in the industry, and in academia, the application of fractals to help in modeling the
analyte/receptor binding and dissociation kinetics on biosensor surfaces.
The work builds on that done in
Engineering Biosensors:
Kinetics and Design Applications, published by Academic Press in 2002. In particular, more examples are provided of where biosensors
may be effectively used. This sequel is extremely timely, given the anticipation that the applications and reliance on biosensors will
increase due to the advances in miniaturization, (wireless) communications, and the development of new materials (especially biological
and chemical). Other applications of biosensors on the increase can be found in: the protection of civilian structures and infrastructures;
protection from possible biological and chemical threats; health care; energy; food safety; and the environment to name a few.
Audience:
Analytical Chemists, Biochemists, Biologists and Physical Chemists.
