Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
A new emerging field that combines nanoscale materials and biosensor technology is receiving increased attention. Nanostructures have been used to achieve direct wiring of enzymes to electrode surfaces, to promote electrochemical reactions, impose nano barcodes on biomaterials, and amplify the signal from biorecognition events. NP-based sensors have found wide spread applications in the environmental and medical applications for their sensitivity, specificity, rapidity, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness.
The aim of this chapter, without pretending to being exhaustive, is mainly to review recent important achievements about metal nanoparticles preparation, their bio modification and the new applications for protein detections by means of a set of selected recent publications.
