Abstract
Despite a variety of glucose sensors being available today, the development of nonenzymatic devices for the determination of this biologically relevant analyte is still of particular interest in several applicative sectors. Here, we report the development of an impedimetric, enzyme-free electrochemical glucose sensor based on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) functionalized with an aromatic diamine via a simple wet chemistry functionalization. The electrochemical performance of the chemically modified carbon-based screen-printed electrodes (SPCEs) was evaluated by electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), demonstrating a high selectivity of the sensor for glucose with respect to other sugars, such as fructose and sucrose. The sensing parameters to obtain a reliable calibration curve and the selective glucose sensing mechanism are discussed here, highlighting the performance of this novel electrochemical sensor for the selective sensing of this important analyte. Two linear trends were noted, one at low concentrations (0-1200 μM) and the other from 1200 to 5000 μM. The limit of detection (LOD), calculated as the (standard error/slope)*3.3, was 18.64 μM. The results of this study highlight the performance of the developed novel electrochemical sensor for the selective sensing of glucose.

Abstract
Adsorption or immobilization of proteins on synthetic surfaces is a key issue in the context of the biocompatibility of implant materials, especially those intended for the needs of cardiac surgery but also for the construction of biosensors or nanomaterials used as drug carriers. The subject of research was the analysis of Raman spectra of two types of fibrous carbon nanomaterials, of great potential for biomedical applications, incubated with human serum albumin (HSA). The first nanomaterial has been created on the layer of MWCNTs deposited by electrophoretic method (EPD) and then covered by thin film of pyrolytic carbon introduced by chemical vapor deposition process (CVD). The second material was formed from carbonized nanofibers prepared via electrospinning (ESCNFs) of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor and then covered with pyrolytic carbon (CVD). The G-band blue-shift towards the position of about 1600cm-1, observed for both studied surfaces, clearly indicates the albumin (HSA) adhesion to the surface. The G and G' (2D) peak shift was employed to assess the stress build up on the carbon nanomaterials. The surface nano- and micro-topography as well as the method of ordering the carbon nanomaterial has a significant influence on the mode of surface-protein interaction.

Abstract
The nanoenvironment of nanobiocatalysts, such as local hydrophobicity, pH and charge density, plays a significant role in optimizing the enzymatic selectivity and specificity. In this study, Kluyveromyces lactis β-galactosidase (Gal) was assembled onto polystyrene nanofibers (PSNFs) to form PSNF-Gal nanobiocatalysts. We proposed that local hydrophobicity on the nanofiber surface could expel water molecules so that the transgalactosylation would be preferable over hydrolysis during the bioconversion of lactose, thus improve the galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) yield. PSNFs were fabricated by electro-spinning and the operational parameters were optimized to obtain the nanofibers with uniform size and ordered alignment. The resulting nanofibers were functionalized for enzyme immobilization through a chemical oxidation method. The functionalized PSNF improved the enzyme adsorption capacity up to 3100 mg/g nanofiber as well as enhanced the enzyme stability with 80% of its original activity. Importantly, the functionalized PSNF-Gal significantly improved the GOS yield and the production rate was up to 110 g/l/h in comparison with 37 g/l/h by free β-galactosidase. Our research findings demonstrate that the localized nanoenvironment of the PSNF-Gal nanobiocatalysts favour transgalactosylation over hydrolysis in lactose bioconversion.

Abstract
We constructed lactate biosensors by immobilization of lactate oxidase (LOx) onto a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) electrode. The first step of the sensor construction was the immobilization of oxidized SWCNT onto a platinum electrode modified with 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP). Two enzyme immobilization methods were used to construct the biosensors, i.e., covalent immobilization using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and physical adsorption. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments confirmed the immobilization of SWCNT during the biosensor construction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) experiments confirmed covalent immobilization of LOx onto the SWCNT in the first method. The biosensor based on covalent enzyme immobilization showed a sensitivity of 5.8 μA/mM, a linearity up to 0.12 mM of L-lactate, and a detection limit of 4.0 μM. The biosensor based on protein adsorption displayed a sensitivity of 9.4 μA/mM, retaining linearity up to 0.18 mM of L-lactate with a detection limit of 3.0 μM. The difference in the biosensor response can be attributed to protein conformational or dynamical changes during covalent immobilization. The stability of the biosensors was tested at different temperatures and after different storage periods. The thermostability of the biosensors after incubation at 60 °C demonstrated that the biosensor with covalently immobilized LOx retained a higher response compared with the adsorbed protein. Long-term stability experiments show a better residual activity of 40% for the covalently immobilized protein compared to 20% of residual activity for the adsorbed protein after 25 d storage. Covalent protein immobilization was superior compared to adsorption in preserving biosensor functionality over extended time period.

Abstract
Graphene-based nanomaterials are particularly useful nanostructured materials that show great promise in biotechnology and biomedicine. Owing to their unique structural features, exceptional chemical, electrical, and mechanical properties, and their ability to affect the microenvironment of biomolecules, graphene-based nanomaterials are suitable for use in various applications, such as immobilization of enzymes. We present the current advances in research on graphene-based nanomaterials used as novel scaffolds to build robust nanobiocatalytic systems. Their catalytic behavior is affected by the nature of enzyme-nanomaterial interactions and, thus, the availability of methods to couple enzymes with nanomaterials is an important issue. We discuss the implications of such interactions along with future prospects and possible challenges in this rapidly developing area.

Abstract
Aptamer-based biochips for selective cell detection and quantitation in combination of the recent biochip technology and the conventional cell staining methods are described. Using a model system comprising HER2- or PSMA-positive cells as the analytes and single-stranded RNA aptamers specific for HER2 or PSMA as immobilized ligands on chips, we could demonstrate that aptamers were equivalent or superior to antibodies in terms of specificity and sensitivity, respectively. In particular, our PSMA-specific sensor was found to have the characteristics of good stability, reproducibility and reusability, with detection limit as low as 10(3) LNCaP cells. In conclusion, we could show the suitability of nucleic acid aptamers as low molecular weight receptors on biochips for sensitive and specific cell detection and quantitation for future diagnostics development.
