Nanoelectronic-Based Detection for Biology and Medicine

This chapter is a review of the work in nanoelectronic detection of biological molecules and its applications in biology and medicine. About half of the chapter focuses on the methods employed to immobilize deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) on solid substrates with particular focus on the electronic detection and characterization of DNA. Charge-transfer properties and theories are explained, as such electronic and electrical sensing of molecular-level interactions are very important in medical applications for rapid and cheap diagnosis.
