Due to the growing need for sensitive, reliable, reusable, fast, and cheap devices for the detection of analytes which have an important role in diagnosis of different diseases, in metabolic disorders, in monitoring treatment of serious diseases such as cancers, the sensing field has attracted huge interest from the scientists. The majority of the traditional methods that are currently in use are invasive, expensive, and laborious. Moreover, highly specialized operators and sophisticated instrumentations are usually required. Taking these into account, the introduction of electrochemical sensors and biosensors avoid a lot of the disadvantages associated with most of the used analytical techniques. The biggest contribution to this development was the use of different nanomaterials as transducers of the analytical signal. The properties, such as high mechanical strength, good electrical conductivity, and ability to serve as efficient signal transducers, make carbon-based nanomaterials, including graphene, ideal materials for biosensor applications. Furthermore, graphene presents high surface area that can be easily modified in different ways to be adapted for the immobilization of various biocompounds for the construction of biosensors. Recent advances regarding the use of graphene and graphene materials for the immobilization of several enzymes for biosensor development and their applications for the detection of chemical and biological species are presented with focus on different enzymes immobilization techniques. In the end, the future trends for the development of graphene-based biosensors in biomedical field are also discussed.
由于对灵敏、可靠、可重复使用、快速且廉价的分析物检测设备的需求不断增长,这些设备在不同疾病的诊断、代谢紊乱以及癌症等严重疾病治疗监测中发挥着重要作用,传感领域已引起科学家们的极大兴趣。目前使用的大多数传统方法具有侵入性、成本高且费力。此外,通常需要高度专业化的操作人员和精密的仪器设备。考虑到这些因素,电化学传感器和生物传感器的引入避免了与大多数现有分析技术相关的许多缺点。这一发展的最大贡献在于使用不同的纳米材料作为分析信号的换能器。碳基纳米材料(包括石墨烯)具有诸如高机械强度、良好的导电性以及作为高效信号换能器的能力等特性,使其成为生物传感器应用的理想材料。此外,石墨烯具有高表面积,可通过不同方式轻松修饰,以适应固定各种生物化合物用于构建生物传感器。本文介绍了关于使用石墨烯及石墨烯材料固定多种酶用于生物传感器开发及其在检测化学和生物物种方面应用的最新进展,重点关注不同的酶固定技术。最后,还讨论了基于石墨烯的生物传感器在生物医学领域的未来发展趋势。
