A Fractal Analysis of Chemical Kinetics with Applications to Biological and Biosensor Interfaces

A Fractal Analysis of Chemical Kinetics with Applications to Biological and Biosensor Interfaces analyzes the kinetics of binding and dissociation of different analytes by different biosensor techniques, demonstrating and then comparing each. Emphasis is placed on newer instrumentation techniques, such as SPRi (surface plasmon resonance imaging), and classical techniques, such as SPR (surface plasmon resonance), and finally, DNA biosensors and nanobiosensors. In addition, a final capstone chapter includes biosensor economics. These topics are all covered in one comprehensive book in a way that cannot be found elsewhere.

• Analyzes the kinetics of binding on biosensor surfaces
• Presents and compares different biosensor techniques
• Provides insights into the binding and dissociation mechanisms of analytes on biosensor surfaces
• Links the heterogeneity of biosensor surfaces to dissociation rate coefficients

Graduate students, researchers and supervisors in academia in biotechnology, biomedical/chemical engineering, biochemistry, chemistry, physics and managers in the industry would find the book useful in helping develop better biosensors. MDs could also find the book useful in helping to diagnose diseases more quickly and correctly, which would lead to better prognoses
