  This overview describes the optimal implementation and utilization of different, newly conceived nanosensors for human biosafety purposes, exploiting a variety of methods (amperometric, conductometric, spectrometric and nanogravimetric), and a wide range of nanocomposites, genes and recombinant enzymes. Namely, while biological nanosensors were designed based on Nucleic Acid Programmable Protein Arrays (NAPPA), with or without SNAPtag, and on Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) thin films of recombinant laccase (Rigidoporus lignosus, formerly known as Rigidoporus microporus), organic nanosensors were based on matrices of calcium oxide (CaO) and on carbon nanotubes–either multi-walled (MWNTs) or single-walled (SWNTs)– embedded in poly(o-methylaniline) (POTO). Special attention was paid both to detecting useful and relevant substances (such as carbon dioxide, phenols and phenolic derivat.. Read More»
