An overview on enzyme-mimicking nanomaterials for use in electrochemical and optical assays

AbstractVarious kinds of nanomaterials have been described in recent years that represent stable and low-cost alternatives to biomolecules (such as enzymes) for use in (bio)analytical methods. The materials typically include, metal/metal oxides, metal complexes, nanocomposites, porphyrins, phthalocyanines, smart polymers, and carbonaceous nanomaterials. Due to their biomimetic and other properties, such nano-materials may replace natural enzymes in chemical sensors, biosensors, and in various kinds of bioassays. This overview (with 252 references) highlights the analytical potential of such nanomaterials. It is divided into sections on (a) the types of nanomaterials according to their intrinsic nature, (b) non-enzymatic sensor designs (including electrochemical, colorimetric, fluorescent and chemiluminescent methods), and (c), applications of non-enzymatic sensors in the biomedical, environmental and food analysis fields. We finally address current challenges and future directions. Graphical abstractThis review discusses different types of nanomaterials, which are explored as a potential biomimetic material to replace the natural enzyme in the field of biosensors, and have found widespread applications in biomedical, food and environmental analysis.
