Abstract
An accurate, safe, environmentally friendly, fast and sensitive electrochemical biosensors were developed to detect xanthine in serum. The metal-organic framework ZIF-8 was synthesised and elemental gold was supported on the surface of ZIF-8 by reduction method to synthesise Ag-ZIF-8. The mesoporous carbon material and the synthesised Ag-ZIF-8 were, respectively, applied to a glassy carbon electrode to construct biosensors. The constructed biosensor has a good linear relation in the range of 1-280 μmol l-1 of xanthine and the detection limit is 0.167 μmol l-1. The relative standard deviation value in serum samples was <5%, and the recoveries were 96-106%, indicating the good selectivity, stability and reproducibility of this electrochemical biosensor.

Abstract
In the review, the principles and main purposes of using multienzyme systems in electrochemical biosensors are analyzed. Coupling several enzymes allows an extension of the spectrum of detectable substances, an increase in the biosensor sensitivity (in some cases, by several orders of magnitude), and an improvement of the biosensor selectivity, as showed on the examples of amperometric, potentiometric, and conductometric biosensors. The biosensors based on cascade, cyclic and competitive enzyme systems are described alongside principles of function, advantages, disadvantages and practical use for real sample analyses in various application areas (food production and quality control, clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring). The complications and restrictions regarding the development of multienzyme biosensors are evaluated. The recommendations on the reasonability of elaboration of novel multienzyme biosensors are given.

Abstract
Enzymes are powerful catalysts already being used in a large number of industrial processes. Impressive advantages in enzyme catalysts improvement have occurred in recent years aiming to improve their performance under harsh operation conditions far away from those of their cellular habitat. Production levels of the winemaking industry have experienced a remarkable increase, and technological innovations have been introduced for increasing the efficiency at different process steps or for improving wine quality, which is a key issue in this industry. Enzymes, such as pectinases and proteases, have been traditionally used, and others, such as glycosidases, have been more recently introduced in the modern wine industry, and many dedicated studies refer to the improvement of enzyme performance under winemaking conditions. Within this framework, a thorough review on the role of enzymes in winemaking is presented, with special emphasis on the use of immobilized enzymes as a significant strategy for catalyst improvement within an industry in which enzymes play important roles that are to be reinforced paralleling innovation.

Abstract
The selection of natural and chemical compounds for potential applications in new pharmaceutical formulations constitutes a time-consuming procedure in drug screening. To overcome this issue, new devices called biosensors, have already demonstrated their versatility and capacity for routine clinical diagnosis. Designed to perform analytical analysis for the detection of a particular analyte, biosensors based on the coupling of proteins to amperometric and optical devices have shown the appropriate selectivity, sensibility and accuracy. During the last years, the exponential demand for pharmacokinetic studies in the early phases of drug development, along with the need of lower molecular weight detection, have led to new biosensor structure materials with innovative immobilization strategies. The result has been the development of smaller, more reproducible biosensors with lower detection limits, and with a drastic reduction in the required sample volumes. Therefore in order to describe the main achievements in biosensor fields, the present review has the main aim of summarizing the essential strategies used to generate these specific devices, that can provide, under physiological conditions, a credible molecule profile and assess specific pharmacokinetic parameters.

Abstract
Interaction between poly[9,9-bis(6'-bromohexyl)-2,7-fluorene-co-alt-1,4-phenylene] (PFPBr2), a neutral conjugated polyfluorene which is completely insoluble in water, and zwitterionic phospholipids has been investigated in order to generate new fluorescent structures which are stable in aqueous media as a means of extending the biological applications of these kinds of polymers. Two types of differently shaped and composed fluorescent structures were identified and then isolated and characterized separately using different biophysical techniques. The first structure type, corresponding to liposomal complexes, showed a fluorescence band centered around 405 nm and maximum absorption at 345 nm, while the second, corresponding to polymer-phospholipid aggregates of variable sizes with lower lipid content, absorbed at longer wavelengths and displayed a well resolved fluorescence spectrum with a maximum centered at 424 nm. Both structures were stable in a large range of pH, and their fluorescence intensity remained practically unaltered for 10 days; it then began to decrease, which was probably because of aggregation. Encapsulation of these structures within the pores of a sol-gel matrix did not affect their fluorescent properties but increased their stability, avoiding further aggregation and subsequent precipitation.

Abstract
In this study, a new amperometric biosensor for the determination of hypoxanthine was developed. To this aim, polypyrrole-polyvinyl sulphonate films were prepared on the platinum electrode by the electropolymerization of pyrrole in the presence of polyvinyl sulphonate. Xanthine oxidase and uricase enzymes were immobilized in polypyrrole-polyvinyl sulphonate via the entrapment method. Optimum conditions of enzyme electrode were determined. Hypoxanthine detection is based on the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide at +400 mV produced by the enzymatic reaction on the enzyme electrode surface. The linear working range of biosensor for hypoxanthine was determined. The effects of pH and temperature on the response of the hypoxanthine biosensor were investigated. Optimum pH and temperature were measured as 8 and 30°C, respectively. Operational and storage stability of the biosensor were determined. After 20 assays, the biosensor sustained 74.5% of its initial performance. After 33 days, the biosensor lost 36% of its initial performance. The performance of the biosensor was tested in real samples.

Abstract
This chapter provides a detailed description of the three immobilization methods based on the biomolecules entrapment into polymer matrices. The poly (vinyl alcohol) bearing styrylpyridinium groups (PVA-SbQ), a soluble pre-polymer bearing photo-cross-linkable groups, has widely been used to entrap enzymes, and several bioassays based on this immobilization matrix have been reported. Similarly, immobilization of enzymes via sol-gel has been described in this chapter. Sol-gel process is based on the ability to form solid metal or semi-metal oxides via the aqueous process of hydrolytically labile precursors. Enzymes can also be entrapped in an agarose gel. Contrary to synthetic polymers such as polyacrylamide, this matrix is biocompatible, non-toxic, provides natural microenvironment to the enzyme and also gives sufficient accessibility to electrons to shuttle between the enzyme and the electrode. The entrapment strategies are easy-to-perform, and permit to deposit enzyme, mediators, and additives in the same sensing layer. Moreover, the activity of the enzyme is preserved during the immobilization process, as biological element is not modified. Biosensors based on physically entrapped enzymes are often characterized by increased operational and storage stability.

Abstract
The development of coimmobilized multi-enzymatic systems is increasingly driven by economic and environmental constraints that provide an impetus to develop alternatives to conventional multistep synthetic methods. As in nature, enzyme-based systems work cooperatively to direct the formation of desired products within the defined compartmentalization of a cell. In an attempt to mimic biology, coimmobilization is intended to immobilize a number of sequential or cooperating biocatalysts on the same support to impart stability and enhance reaction kinetics by optimizing catalytic turnover. There are three primary reasons for the utilization of coimmobilized enzymes: to enhance the efficiency of one of the enzymes by the in-situ generation of its substrate, to simplify a process that is conventionally carried out in several steps and/or to eliminate undesired by-products of an enzymatic reaction. As such, coimmobilization provides benefits that span numerous biotechnological applications, from biosensing of molecules to cofactor recycling and to combination of multiple biocatalysts for the synthesis of valuable products.

Abstract
A highly sensitive fluorescent enzyme array for quantitative acetylcholine detection is developed. The enzyme array has been constructed by spotting of pH sensitive fluorophore 2-phenyl-4-[4-(1,4,7,10-tetraoxa-13-azacycloopentadecyl)benzylidene]oxazol-5-one and acetylcholinesterase doped in tetraethoxysilane/chitosan matrix via a microarrayer. The constructed tetraethoxysilane/chitosan network provided a microenvironment in which the enzyme molecule was active biologically. The optimal operational conditions for the array developed were investigated. The response of the developed biosensor array to acetylcholine was highly reproducible (RSD = 3.27%, n = 6). A good linearity was observed for acetylcholine in the concentrations up to 1 × 10(-8) M, with a detection limit of 0.27 × 10(-8) M.

Abstract
With the increased development and use of fluorescence lifetime-based sensors, fiber optic sensors, fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), and plate and array readers, , calibration standards are essential to ensure the proper function of these devices and accurate results. For many devices that utilize a "front face excitation" geometry where the excitation is nearly coaxial with the direction of emission, scattering-based lifetime standards are problematic and fluorescent lifetime standards are necessary. As more long wavelength (red and near-infrared) fluorophores are used to avoid background autofluorescence, the lack of lifetime standards in this wavelength range has only become more apparent . We describe an approach to developing lifetime standards in any wavelength range, based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). These standards are bright, highly reproducible, have a broad decrease in observed lifetime, and an emission wavelength in the red to near infrared making them well suited for the laboratory and field applications as well. This basic approach can be extended to produce lifetime standards for other wavelength regimes.
