Advanced Nanozyme for Biosensors

Dear Colleagues,

Natural enzymes with remarkable efficiency and good substrate specificity can catalyze biochemical reactions in various biological processes, but enzymes are hampered in biosensing applications due to their fragility under terrible conditions. Fortunately, the emergence of nanozymes with enzyme-like activity provides a possibility for exploring the candidates of natural enzymes. Nowadays, diverse nanozymes based on oxidase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and laccase have been widely developed, which exhibit advantages such as a low cost, high stability, high activity, and ease of storage, showing enormous potential in biosensing applications. Therefore, the present Special Issue mainly focuses on the advanced nanozyme for biosensors, particularly in the areas of the fabrication of novel nanozymes, the strategy of enhancing the nanozyme activity, and their biosensing applications in environment monitoring, food safety, medical diagnosis, etc. We sincerely invite authors to submit manuscripts to further promote the basic study of nanozymes and expand their applications in various fields.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
