Biosensors and immunosensors

Overview

Wide variety of different sensing applications from small drug molecules to large proteins. Ligand/receptor binding study is fundamental for understanding molecular recognition in biology. The whole immune system is based upon it, as well as the blood coagulation cascade, signalling transduction between and within cells.
