Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, DNA nanostructures have aroused tremendous concern as promising candidates in nanotechnology because of their excellent programming properties, remarkable controllability, and high precision, which has been extensively applied in the field of electrochemical bioanalysis. Unlike traditional DNA hybridization methods, DNA-based biosensors have higher sensitivity and lower manufacturing costs. Due to their unique advantages, DNA nanostructures can be designed to serve as universal units to form biosensors for the detection of many biomarkers. The preparation of multifunctional DNA nanostructures in a controlled and functionalized manner and the optimization of stability and reproducibility of DNA-based biosensors are the key to the development of DNA-based electrochemical biosensors. The merits of easy preparation, structural stability, mechanical rigidity, and high loading capacity make DNA nanostructure-based electrochemical biosensors a significant engineering paradigm for immobilizing numerous biomolecules.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to share new developments in the field of DNA electrochemical biosensors and the future prospects of this field. It also includes the research of nanomaterials and DNA-based photoelectrochemical biosensors.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
